Yekaterinburg to Krasnoyarsk
Why Go?
This leg of the journey starts in the Urals with the historically important city of Yekaterinburg. The train then moves into Siberia and eventually on to its buzzing capital, Novosibirsk. Both cities are worth a stop but the main attractions of the region both require detours off the Trans-Siberian route. From oil-rich Tyumen, consider a trip to Tobolsk which has a picturesque kremlin. Further on, a branch line will take you to the friendly university town of Tomsk, peppered with gorgeous wooden architecture.
The scenery outside the train isn’t the most visually exciting, with little more to see than endless miles of forest and farmland. Perhaps the best way to make the journey, then, is on a series of night trains which will help you save on hotels. If you do take day trains, there is admittedly a certain pleasure to be gained from the unchanging countryside and the opportunity it provides to reflect on Russia, life, or whatever takes your fancy.
