]]>The entire ride takes about 50 hours to complete. That is a very long time, so of course, you’ll want to make some stops along the way. Figure out in advance where you want to stay overnight, and which side trips are unmissable. Some trains only go every other day, others are very slow. Make sure your itinerary aligns with the schedule of the trains.
(@transsiberian)There is no Wi-fi on the Trans-Siberian train, and since you’re going to spend long hours on it, it’s best to bring books, games, and anything else to entertain yourself on the way. There are power outlets on the train so you have the option to watch movies or TV shows that you’ve previously downloaded.
Lastly, know that this adventure is surprisingly affordable. It’s easy to live cheaply in Russia, but if you do want to splurge, you can find excellent value for money.

Grand Maket Rossiya
Fans of miniature art will feel right at home at Russia’s largest model layout, which covers the area of 8,600 square feet. The main goal was to create a model that represents different regions of the Russian Federation, completed with replicas of actual buildings and moving rails.
Museum of Hygiene
Arguably the weirdest museum in Saint Petersburg, this institution had one goal in mind—educating people about the dangers of germs and filth. There are many bizarre objects on display, including one of Pavlov’s original dogs for some reason.

Saint Basil’s Cathedral and Church Of The Savior On Blood
Saint Basil’s Cathedral located on Moscow’s Red Square is a beautiful church that people travel to see, but there’s a very similar one in St. Petersburg called Church Of The Savior On Blood. The latter will probably have fewer people in front of it, but you go visit whichever you want.
From the moment I got there I felt in LOVE with this city. 
This picture of the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood, ( I know the name is pretty harsh and scary for such a beautiful architecture) and the reflection on the water is just so majestic
Not only the colorfulness from the outside, inside is quite filled with ravishing colors as well. 
Despite the terrifying name, it was built to honor an emperor, Alexander II as a memorial. He was known as a liberator and made so many great changes for the country. Though, he got killed by a terrorist with a grenade at this exact spot. 
I will never forget the shock of walking on the street and seeing this for the first time. No wonder it is part of UNESCO heritage along with the whole historic area of Saint Petersburg. 
My time there was definitely not enough and I have been wanting to go back again one day. Especially for the white nights, when the sun never fully sets and the sky remains bright throughout the night with some sunset kind of lights! How crazy is that?
