The Trans-Siberian Railway is the longest railway line in the world, stretching approximately 9,289 kilometers (5,772 miles) across Russia. It connects Moscow in the west to Vladivostok in the east, passing through diverse landscapes, including forests, mountains, and steppes. The railway was completed in 1916 and serves as a vital transportation route for both passengers and freight. Traveling on the Trans-Siberian offers a unique experience, allowing passengers to witness the vastness of Siberia and its various cultures. The journey can take about a week, with several routes available, including the popular Trans-Mongolian and Trans-Manchurian options, which extend to China and Mongolia.
