Trans-Siberian railway is one of the epic train journeys most of the travelers have very high on their bucket list. However, many of the people are going non-stop from Moscow to Irkutsk with a goal to cross over to Mongolia and later on to China as soon as possible. Of course spending 5 days on the train without a shower is an experience on its own, but you shouldn’t miss out on some of the most impressive sights along the way.Take it slow and make stops. You will get a chance to experience the real Russia.
1. St. Petersburg
Start your trip in Russia’s northern capital. Allow a couple of days to absorb a very special atmosphere. If you get there in June or early July you also get a chance to experience famous “white nights”.
