Trans-Siberian Railway
Daydream for real
There is something about the Trans-Siberian Railway that sets the imagination in play. To let life go on in a limited space for a week, while the desolate landscape and battered villages passes outside the window.
There are currently several branches of the classic trip, which in 2016 celebrates centenary. The traditional line between Moscow and Vladivostok has received stiff competition from the line Transmanchurian that goes straight to Beijing in China, and Transmongolian, branching off into Mongolia before ending in Beijing.
Outside turisthögsäsongen filled trains with ordinary people, and take the train to Mongolia in autumn, you can be lucky enough to experience when the Mongols running their trade route from Moscow with warm blankets and clothing, which they sell at the stations along the way. Each platform in Siberia turned into a market that will continue until the train starts rolling. Another reality intrudes on. An experience of a lifetime takes shape.
Suitable for: Adventurous daydreamer, train buffs and all who have a passion for the desolate landscape.
Best time to go here: High season is during the summer months, but would you rather hang out with the locals, you should go autumn or spring. Or winter, if you do not fear the Siberian icy cold.
The best tip on the Trans-Siberian Railway: A trip to the steppe
Stop in Mongolia and be sure to leave Ulan Bator. Through your accommodation or a travel agent (or an independent guide), you can get a trip to the steppe arranged. Stay with a nomadic family. An extraordinary experience
