Trans-Siberian Train in Russia

The legendary Trans-Siberian Railway is a vast network of train tracks stretching over more than 9,000 kilometers. It runs from Moscow in European Russia all the way to Vladivostok by the Pacific Ocean in Asia, traveling across seven time zones. The epic route is perhaps rivalled only by the equally famous Orient Express, which used to run from Paris to Istanbul. A journey by the Trans Siberian Train is the stuff that dreams are made of. Tumble past the vast Russian steppe lands and the taiga in a leisurely ride, passing by the tip of the great Lake Baikal, the Gobi Desert, the wild Mongolian steppes and the Great Wall of China, to reach the glorious Pacific Coast. The journey covers the gamut of human civilization, from dazzling metropolises to traditional villages, not to mention miles of awe-inspiring wilderness. There are various routes one can explore depending on the length of train trip you are looking for.
