How long is the train ride I am planning a trip this

Can anyone tell me how many
days is the train ride from
Beijing to Moscow? Are the
train cables clean?
Is it easy to cross to other
European countries from
Moscow?

I love the answer above me - 132 hours and 30 minutes is very cute, I think after spending five and a half days in a train, plus or minus 30 minutes does not matter that much :) I have to admit I have never travelled Beijing-Moscow, but I have travelled extensively by train in Russia and find the trains satisfactory enough. I guess it depends on what your benchmark is. By Chinese standards the trains are lovely, by European standards they are a bit harsh (particularly the toilets ... pack extra toilet paper and hand disinfectant). There are daily direct trains from Moscow to Bucharest, Berlin and Prague, and many more run to Warsaw (Budapest trains go from Kiyevskaya station, the others from Byeloruskaya station). The ride to Warsaw takes about 18 hours, Berlin 24, Prague 30 (two overnights) and Budapest 36 hours (also two overnights). As to the question of "easy" -- I very highly recommend buying tickets in advance, preferably even a week in advance as the trains tend to fill up. All are sleeper cars so you must reserve a bed. If the direct trains are sold out, look into other connections via Warsaw (see link below). Otherwise, travel itself is quite nice (I have done Moscow-Prague and Moscow-Warsaw many times), but if the August weather is warm and sunny, the cars can get terribly hot. People are chatty ... not much else to do ... so if you speak at least some Russian you will get lots of practice :) especially if you bring along some good vodka. To check schedules, you can look at http://jizdnirady.idnes.cz/Con nForm.asp?tt=a&p=MF&cl=E5 This is a Czech site (Czech Rail), but it's in English and provides good information. |

How much cash should I bring I am planning a trip to
Moscow, Russia at then end of
next year. My friends and I
are going to Russia after
college graduation next
spring. We have already begun
making payments on it, and I
was curious on how much cash I
should bring with. We are
staying for two weeks, so I
though about $1,000.
Anyone who has been to Moscow
please let me know how much I
should bring for my trip.
Thanks.

1,000 sounds enough for a two week vacation. Currently, $1 is about 33 Russian rubles. Try not exchanging much at the airport because they have a bad rate. Never exchange on the street - only at authorized banks. The prices for things like a restaurant meal is pretty much the same in the US as in Moscow, and some things like bread and milk could be a little cheaper there. A ticket to Tretyakovskaya Gallery (a must visit, by the way! - both locations) is something like 5 bucks, and to visit the inside of Kremlin (inside behind the wall are all the Kremlin museums, palaces, etc. is somewhat like $20). I'd also suggest you research well on how you'll get from the airport to your place of stay. All the men inside the terminal with cars who will propose you to drive will most likely overcharge you at something like $50 which is ridiculous. If you can orient yourself more or less, you can can take public transportation right from the airport, which will cost much, much less. |
