On these tourist trains, you travel with a group of 120-150 other international travelers. Prices start from 5350 EUR/8250 AUD/6300 USD for a 2-berth compartment.
2) There are daily Russian trains. With this option, you have the flexibility and freedom to choose your dates of travel and enjoy your own, custom-made itinerary, focusing on your interests.
