What makes this trip special?
“There is no railway journey of comparable length anywhere in the world.The Trans-Siberian is the big train ride. All the rest are peanuts.”
The Big Red Train Ride – Eric Newby
The Trans-Siberian is the longest railway in the world
The Trans-Siberian crosses 1/3 of the planet
It stretches 8.000 km and it takes a minimum of 6 days to traverse the distance from Moscow to Vladivostok
The Trans-Mongolian Railway covers the distance from Siberia to Mongolia and ultimately, Beijing, China.
