Ciao!
I'm going to be in Moscow this coming summer doing an internship with the military. I have a friend in Saratov and want to visit her.
I'd like a heads up on the train travel there.
Does anyone know how long a trip it is from Moscow to St. Petersburg, and also to Saratov?
Also, i'd love some pointers on what to see in the country to make my stay memorable.
Thanks!
-anyone else going this summer??

Mandy,
There are overnight trains to St Pb. They take around 7 hours and there are quite a few every day. Your choice.

Check out www.poezda.net for train schedules. If you want some help with this,
email me at ctefehinoz@hotmail.com.

If your Russian isn't very good, I have a little cheat sheet (from Bryn Thomas's Trans-Siberian Handbook) to give to the ticket clerk.

If you book these tickets via a travel agency from outside Russia you'll be ripped off chronically.....

Regards
Sean
