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.

The routes

From Russia to China in 18 days – 7 different time zones – Countless memories

ΤHREE DIFFERENT TRAIN ROUTES, COUNTLESS MEMORIES

Trans –Siberian Railway

The original version of the railway departs from Moscow in order to cross Siberia and arrive in Vladivostok after almost 6 days – hence it’s name: the Trans-Siberian.

Trans – Mongolian Railway

The second route (the one we’ll be following) begins from Moscow crossing almost all Russia and then, through Mongolia, it arrives at Beijing in China. The Trans-Mongolian crosses 3 different countries in 6 days and it is considered to be one of the most exciting train routes.

Trans-Manchurian Railway

There is an alternative third route, the Trans-Manchurian, from Russia to China without crossing Mongolia.

Hello!

I’m Maria Kofou, a blogger at the travel blog www.tstories.gr, digital marketeer and a journalist. One thing I love more than traveling is traveling by train! On July 2015, I finally made my dream of traveling solo aboard the Trans-Siberian and the Trans-Mongolian come true! On August 2016, I took my second Trans-Siberian trip, this time escorting a group of solo travelers from Puerto Rico.

So, this year, I decided I will help you make your dream come true! The Trans-Siberian is a dream for many travelers out there and since I’ve already made the trip twice, I am here to inspire and encourage you: step on the Trans-Siberian and join me in the adventure of your lifetime!

Welcome on board traveler!
