Trans-Siberian, -Mongolian and -Manchurian Train Journeys   Real Russia do not have standard fixed high prices like other agencies. We get the best price for your tickets at the time you order them based on the train requested, season of travel, current ticket price, foreign exchange rates and if we can obtain the cheaper international tariff for your journey.   However, to give you an indication of the prices you can expect to pay, we have created this page with the most popular routes.

What are the prices for the "Trans" rail journeys?

The Trans-Siberian popular routes and prices

The Trans-Siberian classic route is between Moscow and Vladivostok covering over 9,000 kilometres and taking from 7 days without stops. As this route is entirely within Russia it is not possible to fully apply to international tariff and as such the prices are higher than for other routes.
