Our website was founded to provide foreigners with unique access to the land of the former Soviet Union: its natural wonders, ranging from tundra to tropical; its magnificent cultural icons from the beginning of time to the medieval nomadic periods to Kievian Rus to Imperial Russia to the USSR to present. We consider Russia and its neighbors to be some of the most spectacular and yet undiscovered places in the world. Russia is the world´s largest country, boasting everything from the greatest former imperial capital of Europe to Europe´s highest mountain peak to the largest freshwater lake in the world. The best way to access all of these wonders is by train.



We will show you the best of Moscow and St. Petersberg and then take you beyond. To the volcanic peaks of Kamchatka, where the snow is soft and fresh. To the taiga forests of Primorye, where we find some of the world´s most exotic animals and original terrains. To the Arctic Tundra, where we retrace Barents legendary voyage to the north pole.
