General tour description
When you travel by train on the TransSib, it feels like you are climbing mountains. In fact you are not climbing anywhere, but from the constant change of scenery outside the window, time zones, cities and fellow travelers - you feel as if you have climbed to the top. The train from Moscow to Vladivostok takes almost a week - dozens of cities, more than a hundred stations. Passengers now and then turn the hands of the clock and read "War and Peace" by Tolstoy aloud. Tourists are crossing two continents to understand the real Russia. They get to know the Russian character, to feel the scale of the country and to see a two-week kaleidoscope of landscapes. This journey is not for the faint-hearted - this trip changes the outlook on life. But it is also the most convenient and comfortable way to get to the main pearls of Russia! The TransSib route in a unique way combines romantic notions of travel with absolutely unique landscapes and an unforgettable experience. All this turns the trip into one of the main adventures of life!
