Trans-Siberian Railway, Asia
The legendary Trans-Siberian Railway, which passes through 10 time zones across Russia, China and Mongolia, is the longest rail system on earth. A trip on one of the line's many routes takes travelers past sparkling Russian Orthodox churches, remote virgin forests, Mongolian deserts, ancient villages, the Great Wall of China and countless other extraordinary sites. Planning a trip on the Trans-Siberian Railway can be daunting, but a good bet is to book your getaway with a travel agent, who can help you select the right itinerary as well as obtain a tourist visa, which you will need to visit Russia.
