My wife and I also want to do this ride again in the winter...it would be so different with the land covered in snow. Happy planning! Will you be blogging about it?

Me and my boyfriend are looking to travel on the Trans Sib in January and I cant wait! Gonna be freezing but oh well...!! Love your other article on independent travel too. I was convinced to get it through an agent about 5 mins ago but you have changed my mind! It seems a little daunting but I'm sure we will manage!! Thank you :) Thanks for the insight Carlo.

The train is great, peaceful I found...of course, if you want to make it more exciting you can, either by hanging out in the restaurant car or striking up conversations or even riding in platzkartny (open carriage). It really is what you make of it. It's a great trip, one you'll always remember.

I'm planning a trip in the near-ish future along the transiberian. It looks much more exciting than I first thought. I think I'll try to start from St. Petersburg after reading this. What's it like on the train?! This is super helpful. I’m planning a trip in the near-ish future along the transiberian. It looks much more exciting than I first thought.

I will definitely be making the trip again (maybe the other way) and will look into Tomsk. Thanks for the comment and the tip Andrew.

I'd also add Tomsk as a worthwhile stop. Although it's a bit off the usual route, it's still easy to do on the Trans-Sib and since it's an old Siberian city with an interesting history and beautiful, old traditional wooden houses everywhere, it's well worth a stop.
