On this timetable departure day of the week means departure from the first station mentioned. The number before the time is the sequence of days on the train. For example: train number 4 leaves on Tuesdays from Moscow at 23.42 and arrives in Beijing on the following Monday at 15.33, after 7661 km of travel. The train schedule with all stops are indicated if you click on the URLs.

Please note that in Russia railway timetables are indicated in Moscow time and that the railway station clocks run also on Moscow time. This can be quite confusing as the Trans-Siberian Railway runs through 7 time-zones.

EASTBOUND

A number of convenient train connections between Moscow and St.Petersburg are available. We recommend to buy these tickets at the train station (more instructions). If you wish, we can also book tickets for you. Prices are different for each train and vary also in different seasons (between 20-50 USD).

LOCAL TIME ZONES:

The local time zones along the Trans-Siberian railway are ahead of Moscow time as follow:

• Novosibirsk + 4 hours
• Irkutsk, Ulan Bator, Beijing + 5 hours
• Khabarovsk, Vladivostok + 7 hours

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

Train tickets with destinations within Russia can only be issued 30 days in advance. Reservations on such tickets can be made before, but physically, the tickets can only be bought 30 days in advance. For international travel (e.g. tickets from Moscow to Beijing), the period is 45 days.

For this reason, we cannot send tickets in advance. You will receive the tickets from our office in Moscow or our representative in Ulan Bator (e.g. for tickets Ulan Batar to Beijing)

FLIGHT CONNECTIONS

Check also our pages with more flight connections from Moscow airports and our airfaires from the US to Russia. For groups travelling along the Trans-Siberian railroad, we can also organize flights originating from Europe (e.g. Zurich-Moscow, Beijing-Zurich with Swissair).
