The Trans-Siberian Line (9289 km, 7 days)
This is the least popular route among travelers, which is a shame! This is actually the original route – the only one crossing the world’s biggest country from west to east. In 7 days you cover 9289km and cross 7 time zones. After Irkutsk and Lake Baikal, the train continues through eastern Siberia offering a unique experience of a lesser known Russia: a sense of wilderness, spectacular scenery of mountains and forests, of wild rivers and distant Siberian villages which seem long forgotten by Moscow politicians 9000km away. The journey ends in Vladivostok – one of Russia’s most important ports. The whole route is serviced by a Russian train (#2) departing from Moscow every other day. From Vladivostok you can fly back to Moscow or another Russian city, or take a boat to Japan. Or you can fly to America making a round-the-world journey.
