By Jetty Smith


This article principally gives you a clear concept about the Trans-Siberian train facility. If you meticulously study the map of the journey of the Trans-Siberian railway you'll find that it connects Moscow and numerous areas of central Russia like N.Novgorod, Perm, Ekaterinberg, Omsk and stretching up to Vladivostok and Beijing. It also connects Moscow with St. Petersburg, Berlin, Amsterdam and London on the West and to Bangkok and Singapore on the East through connecting train lines.

The one with 2 berths costs almost 2x as much as the former one.

The railways route gives the visitor an experience worth cherishing.

The trains that run in the Trans-Siberian railway route are made in Russia. The 1st class has 2 sections - the 2 berths compartments and the 4 berths ones. The 2nd class carriages consist of 4 berths compartments. There's a restaurant carriage in the train, which offers a variety of national cuisines depending on what country you're travelling thru. A 2-course meal including a lager costs between $15-20. The menu for breakfast includes fried eggs and ham and for lunch and dinner you have soups accompanied by starters and other items like potatoes and schnitzel. The food served is delicious.

However , one important thing to be pointed out is that the 1st class compartment with 4 berths is quite similar to the 2nd class with 4 berths and that is the reason the 2nd class is preferred more by people because it's the way of saving some money. The guts of the train are plush and worth the money and make the journey a fabulous experience. The tickets that are 'with services ' offer you meals while those 'without services ' do not lack the facility.

Tickets at the Genuine Russian railway price are available at any Russian railways station. This is the only real way to purchase the tickets at the cheapest rate.
