The Trans-Siberian Railway
The Trans-Siberian railway reaches right across Asia, connecting Moscow with the Far East and cutting through the fascinating lands in between. Crossing a third of the globe, the Trans-Siberian railway heads through the natural wonders of the Gobi Desert, the Ural Mountains and the grassy steppe of Mongolia.
Travelling the Trans-Siberian Railway
Encounter fascinating cultures as you travel, experiencing centuries-old customs and traditions as you journey across Asia. Visit Lake Baikal, the world’s oldest and deepest body of fresh water, camp out in a traditional Mongolian ger, eat local food and watch local festivals like the Naadam festival during the summer months.
Why not extend your railway adventure with a tour in either Russia or China? Take the scenic route with On the Go Tours: the Trans-Siberian is an experience you’ll never forget.
