If you love train journeys, imagine spending nearly a week on a train while travelling across thousands of kilometres. One of the world’s most famous long-distance rail journeys takes passengers across Russia, through vast forests, major cities, rivers and Siberian landscapes. Known as the Trans-Siberian Railway, it connects Moscow with Vladivostok in the Russian Far East. (Image: Sorovas/Wikimedia Commons)
The Trans-Siberian Railway is widely regarded as the world’s longest continuous railway route. The classic Moscow-Vladivostok route covers approximately 9,289 kilometres across Russia. It stretches from the country’s European side to its Pacific coast. (Image: Russian Train)
Travelling the entire Moscow-Vladivostok route by train takes roughly seven days, depending on the service and schedule. That means passengers remain on the journey for several days while crossing much of the world’s largest country. (Image: Hugues – Gare de Omsk/Wikimedia Commons)
