Russia is the world\u2019s largest country by landmass.\u00a0 It includes nine different time zones and shares land borders with 14 neighboring countries.\u00a0 Russia offers many natural sights, from the sandy Curonian Split on the Baltic Sea coast to the vast Golden Mountains of Altai in Southern Siberia. Whether you\u2019re exploring the grounds of Moscow\u2019s Kremlin or wandering the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, a visit to Russia will introduce you to the beauty of a\u00a0land which is rich in culture and history.<\/p>\n

\"Russia<\/p>\n

Many people traveling to Russia are aware of the Trans-Siberian railway.\u00a0 It is part of the longest railway system in the world running from Moscow to Vladivostok.\u00a0 The line is known as the route of the tsars, begun in 1891 by Tsar Alexander III and completed by his son, Tsar Nicholas II, in 1916. According to an article from\u00a0The Telegraph<\/em>\u00a0entitled, \u201cEverything you need to know about booking a trip on the Trans-Siberian railway<\/a>\u201d, the cost for a one-way journey by service train to Vladivostok from Moscow, is about \u00a3500 ($644) in second class and \u00a3800 ($1,030) for first class, including food. Bedding is supplied in first- and second-class coaches.\u00a0 If you plan on making stops in between, you\u2019ll need to pay extra.<\/p>\n

For people who really want to see Russia, the Trans-Siberian Railway is a great way to get a good look at\u00a0about 6,000 miles of it. But for those who\u2019d rather fly, get to their destinations faster, and spend more time in cities than on a train, purchasing air ticket deals<\/a> would be the better option.\u00a0 And for those that like both can mix it around with trains and planes.<\/p>\n
