Across Russia on a Virtual Train

Russia is a very very big country. There is enough room for beautiful people, cities and nature. You may travel from one location to another by many ways – by car, by plane, by boat and of course, by train. If you travel by plane – you will reach your destination very quickly, but all you can see from illuminator is clouds. The same clouds as above any other country. If you go by car you will definitely see more, but you have certain limits on the length of your journey and need to take some rest after driving all day. A boat is only for summer and also it cannot take you anywhere you want. But the train – it is a pure entertainment. It is a very Russian transport that can give you an easy and spectacular guide thousand miles long.

Trans-Siberian (Transsib) Railway was built to connect two very important and very distant cities of Russia – Moscow and Vladivostok. Each even date at 9-25 PM for the last 40 years the train “Rossija” (Russia) departures from Yaroslavl Station in Moscow to Vladivostok. The length of the route is 9 259 kilometers (5 753 miles), the total duration of travel is near 7 days. Now you can take this ride in 30 minutes on your computer using world’s first virtual railway tour.

It is all real here: you show your ticket to conductor and go to the wagon. You can walk inside the train and enjoy wonderful views. You can go out on the stops to see what’s outside.

 
You are not alone in this train and will meet the fellow travelers: drummer Bigus who carries to Valdivostok a big African snail helping his friends, hereditary Siberian Petr Petrovich Mamin and his granddaughter, British photographer Mr. Johnson and Swiss painter Annic. During the travel they will tell you interesting stories. And you will have some adventures too.
