The Trans-Siberian Railway
From Moscow to the Pacific Ocean

Some 10,000 kilometers (6,200 miles) of track and seven time zones! Luxury trains and simple wagons, endless taiga, and the clearest lake in the world: a trip with the Trans-Siberian Railway promises many highlights. Anne and Olaf Meinhardt spent six months traveling between Moscow, Vladivostok, and Beijing, have tasted borscht, picnicked at the shores of Lake Baikal, and strolled through dreamy birch forests. Impressive photos and special reports tell the tale of the expanse and beauty of Russia.
