Trans-Siberian Railway

The Trans-Siberian Railway is the world's longest continuous railway line, spanning roughly 9289 kilometres from Moscow to Vladivostok and crossing eight time zones through the taiga, steppe, and mountains of Russia. The main line takes approximately six days to complete, passing through Yekaterinburg, Omsk, Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk, and Irkutsk, with lateral branches extending to Mongolia and China. The journey itself is the attraction — watching the landscape shift from European Russia through the Ural foothills into endless Siberian forest remains one of the classic overland travel experiences in the world.
