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 three main routes are the:
  • Trans-Siberian from Moscow to Vladivostok
  • Trans-Mongolian to Beijing going via Mongolia
  • Trans-Manchurian to Beijing avoiding Mongolia

 


 

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.

 

Please note that Real Russia do not use the "tricks" of Russian agencies such as; showing low initial prices and then repeatedly putting the price up once you have paid at first; providing second class tickets for first class prices; quoting prices for unpopular postal trains and so on. The prices below are the real prices that you can expect to pay for the best trains on the real route for the actual ticket class requested.

 

The Russian railways have increased their base ticket cost by an average of 30% starting January 2009, these costs are reflected in the prices below but they do not account for currency fluctuations.

 

To request prices for your Trans-Siberian rail tickets, please see our Trans-Siberian Journey Planner.
