This itinerary is for those who love travel for the sake of the travel! Cities, faces and landscapes rush past, thousand by thousand kilometres flash by, time zones sweep over - and you step out of the train on the other side of the continent!
Day 1
Arrival to Moscow.
To travel to Russia without visiting Moscow - means to see nothing in Russia. This city is really the city of contrasts. It has seen military parades on Red Square, KGB, Lenin and Solzhenitsyn. It is home for Bolshoy Theatre, Tretyakov Gallery and Pushkin Museum. History, art, religion, politics, adventure, romance, night life - whatever you are looking for, you will find it in Moscow.
Stay in Moscow for 1 night(s) in a 3 star hotel or a centrally located apartment.

Transfer from the railway station.
Vladivostok ("Ruler of the East") is often compared to San Francisco due to the many hills and ocean views, and is one of the most beautiful cities in Russia. As one of only four major seaports, Vladivostok is Russia's window to Asia, as it is located less than 100km east of the Chinese border, and just across the main Japanese Island of Honshu. Home base to the Russian Pacific Fleet, the city was closed to all non-Soviets from 1958 until 1991.
Time difference with Moscow at this point is 7 hour(s).
Stay in Vladivostok for 1 night(s) .
