The train travels through 7 time zones and takes eight days to complete without making overnight stops. The Transsib is unique because it represents a cultural and historical panorama review, reflecting the whole rich history of Russia with its sometimes mysterious, sometimes contradictory pages. Stops for land excursions at the most interesting places along the route are included every day. In the cities like Ekaterinburg in the Ural Mountains, Irkutsk near Lake Baikal , hotel nights in international four-starhotels are included, allowing you more time to explore these places and enjoy a relaxed journey. Meals, drinks, tour guides are included in the tour. The journey may be booked either eastbound, beginning in Moscow, or westbound. The TRANSSIBERIAN Railway is featured in the "Guinness Book of Records" for three categories: total length, number of stations, and construction time. It was built between 1891 and 1916 to connect the Russian capital Moscow with the Far-East city of Vladivostok and apart from it functional use, today it also became the lifetime dream of many travelers!
