The Trans-Siberian Railway is not only the longest train journey in the world but also one of the most iconic.
Stretching across 9,288 kilometers (5,772 miles), this epic route connects Moscow in the west to Vladivostok in the east, crossing eight time zones and passing through some of the most remote areas of Russia. The journey takes about seven days to complete without any stops, but most travelers take the opportunity to explore cities like Irkutsk, near Lake Baikal, and the Ural Mountains. The sheer length of the Trans-Siberian Railway makes it a bucket-list journey for train enthusiasts.
