Trans Siberian Railway Trains, Map and Tickets Cost

Author: Dimitry Paranyushkin (on 21 Sep 2022)
There are basically two different ways to travel the Trans Siberian railway: either taking a direct train or making stopovers along the way. The second option is better, because you get to see the Russian cities along the way and you may also be able to reduce the cost of your Trans Siberian trip this way.
 
Looking for train schedules? Check out our live Trans-Siberian journey planner where you can plan a journey with stopovers.
 
If you choose to take a direct train with no stopovers, there are two trains weekly that go from Moscow to Beijing (and back) – the Trans Mongolian railway train #004 (#003 to go back) and the Trans Manchurian train #020 (#019). The whole journey takes about 6 days and a bed in the 2nd class compartment costs about €450-€500. If you take a Trans Siberian train from Moscow to Vladivostok, the trip will take about 6 days and will cost about €150 3rd class and €300 2nd class. If you choose to make stopovers, you could take a train along the Trans Siberian railway from Moscow to Novosibirsk (will take about 2 days and cost €150 in the 2nd class), then on to Irkutsk or Ulan Ude (~2 days and €90), and then on to Beijing (~3 days, €350-€400). To make that journey cheaper you can also take 3rd class Russian trains up to the Russian border: to Naushki if you go through Mongolia or to Zabaykalsk if you want to go around Mongolia and go straight to China. The Russian leg of the journey will then cost you about €180 and the Mongolian / Chinese one about €150.

Trans Siberian Railway Facts

Trans-Siberian railway or Transsib is the longest railway in the world (about 8000 km) and takes about 6 days to cross from Moscow to Vladivostok. A branch of this railway that goes from Chita to Beijing through Ulan-Bataar (in Mongolia) is called Trans-Mongolian and the other branch that goes around Mongolia straight to China is called Trans Manchurian railway. The whole journey from Moscow to Beijing also takes about 6 days.
The best way to travel along Transsib is to take trains between the major cities staying a few days in each, so you don't have have to spend several days in the same train compartment. The more interesting places to stop along the way are Ekaterinburg, Novosibirsk (2 days by train from Moscow – from there you can go to Altay mountains for trekking and rafting), Krasnoyarsk (3 days from Moscow – the climbing mecca and a great city), Irkutsk (4 days from Moscow – Baikal lake), Ulan-Ude (4.5 days – the first "Asian" city in Russia along the way), Vladivostok (6 days). Of course, Ulan-Bataar (5 days from Moscow) in Mongolia and Beijing in China also if you're traveling in that direction.

Buying Trans Siberian Tickets

There are several ways of buying the Trans-Siberian tickets. You can get them beforehand through a travel agency or once you're in Russia at any train station. Keep in mind, that it's not possible to book a train ticket in Russia, you have to purchase it directly and this can only be done not earlier than 45 days before the departure. Thus, if you need one of the direct trains, which are quite popular (Moscow - Vladivostok, Moscow - Beijing), we strongly recommend you to purchase your tickets beforehand. Otherwise the tickets you want might not be available.
 
If you're currently in Beijing and need your Trans-Siberian tickets urgently, you can try International Hotel on JianGuoMen (North-West exit A and walk 10 minutes straight). There is a Citibank office next to the hotel and inside the hotel there's the office of CITS where you can buy the tickets. The Trans Mongolian ticket from Beijing to Moscow will cost you about €500 for 2nd class.

If you're traveling with stopovers, you will be able to to find tickets for the passing trains between the cities directly on the spot, but be prepared to be flexible with your schedule because you won't always find the trains on the day (maybe within 2-3 days ahead). Also, train times, ruble exchange rates, and prices in Russia always change, so we don't guarantee that the information below is 100% correct but it is up-to-date as of March 2015. If you need the actual quote, please, use the search form below to contact one of the operators directly. The local times for each destination are given.

Trans-Mongolian trains: Moscow - Ulan-Bataar - Beijing

Most Trans-Siberian trains depart from Yaroslavsky train station in Moscow. Some depart from Kazansky (just opposite of Yaroslavsky). These trains go through Siberia, Mongolia into China, so you may need a Mongolian visa (unless you're a US or Israeli citizen in which case you don't). The visa can be obtained also in Mongolian embassy in Irkutsk (Baikal Lake). The trains below are the direct ones. You can also check out the trains below that go to Irkutsk or Chita and then take a local train from there. In this case you could get to Beijing for a lower price (about €240 one way 3rd class).
