Would You Ride The Trans-Siberian Express?

Are you one of those people that loves train travel? Do you wish you could spend not only hours but days onboard a train?

Well, if that description fits you, the Trans-Siberian Express just might be the experience of a lifetime.

The Trans-Siberian Express is the longest regular train journey on Earth, departing every day from Moscow, Russia at the Yaroslavsky Railway Station in the heart of the city.

After more than six days of travel (that’s a total of 148 hours) and 5,772 miles, travelers finally reach their destination, the Vladivostok Railway Station in Vladivostok, the easternmost city in Russia.

Despite the insane length of the journey, travelers on the Trans-Siberian Express have the opportunity to see some amazing things.

Outside of all of the interesting cities and towns that one can see as the train goes across the entirety of Russia, amazing natural landscapes such as the Ural Mountains and Lake Baikal can also be observed.

Many travelers ride this route only to see Russia’s entire landscape through their train window. People say it is a powerful experience that affords travelers a panoramic vision of the entire country.

So, what do you think? Would you ride a train for over six days?
