Trans-Siberian Railway - Moscow (PDF Chapter)

This is the Moscow chapter from Lonely Planet’s Trans-Siberian Railway guide-book.

Moscow is the start or the end point for your train journey across Mother Russia. Soak it up. Examine the art; splurge on a ritzy restaurant; stay out till sunrise; get lost in the crowds. Once you get on that train, you may not get to do it again.

• maps
• marvel at the multicoloured, multidomed spectacle of St Basil’s Cathedral on Red Square
• transport
• be as active or as lazy as you wish in the wonderfully gentrified and iconic Gorky Park
