Moscow - St. Petersburg train timetables, prices,
map of European Russia

Last Update: 31 January 2003


Buying Train Tickets: buy your train tickets at least one day beforehand, be prepared to wait in a line for at least 1 hour. For popular routes, like Moscow - St. Petersburg, Trans-Siberian it's better to buy the tickets as early as possible (the earliest is 45 days beforehand).
Ticket Prices:
train ticket prices in Russia vary, depending on where you buy them. Russian railway ministry sells ticket trains through authorized agents, and it is even possible that two different ticket sales offices at one railway station will have different prices. On this page we give average train ticket prices, it is only possible to get the exact quote when buying a ticket.
Train Schedules: train timetables and prices change very often in Russia and although we're trying hard to keep this page as up-to-date as possible, it may be slightly outdated sometimes. You can request exact train schedules and quotes at Train Tickets Online Reservation page and, if you want, reserve or buy your ticket..
