Booking the train tickets within Russia can be a hassle from time to time. This is because the tickets are on sale with 45 days before departure.

For example, the tickets for train 35/36 from Nizhny Novgorod to Moscow are available with 60 days before departure.

The tickets can be issued as electronic registration or e-tickets. For some routes, the only option can be a paper ticket.

Here is the difference between them:
- e-ticket- the ticket is sent on your e-mail address, you print it at home and you will need to exchange it for the actual paper ticket at any train station within Russia;

- electronic registration- the ticket is sent on your e-mail address, you print it at home and you present it along with your passport to the train attendant at the time of boarding. These tickets are not exchanged for the paper ticket.

The class of travel available on Russian trains:
1st class (спальный): 2 berths per compartment;
2nd class (купе): 4 berths per compartment;
3rd class (плацкартный): 54 berths per compartment (common area);
seat (сидеачии)- for short journeys.

HOW DID ROMANIA CHANGE THE WORLD?

The Dracula's country (this is the symbol we are known mostly worldwide) has more to offer than you ever could have imagined. We has as neighbors the Republic of Moldova, Serbia, Hungary, Ukraine and Bulgaria.  Usually, you have no reasons to get out of the country when is about travelling: we have the Black Sea on the East mountains on the middle and the North of the country, fields on the West. The medieval cities kept their structure (like Brasov, Sighisoara, Sibiu, which is an amazing one).  In 2007, Sibiu was the European Capital of Culture and for 2019 wants to be the European Region of Gastronomy. But the question is, what do you think of when you say ''Romania''? Before you answer, here are some details not all people know: 1. Petrache Poenaru invented world's first fountain pen. photo: http://www.cunoastelumea.ro/ 2. The Romanian scientist Nicolae Paulescu invented the insulin.  photo: http://www.rounite.com/ 3. The...

3 NATIONAL PARKS NOT TO MISS IN MONGOLIA

The intersection point between Russia and China, Mongolia is a perfect stopover for those who are interested in local culture, sports and recreation or discovering a new way of travelling: spending a day with a Nomadic family. Most of the nationalities would require a Mongolian visa (there are some exceptions, for example, the citizens of the United States do not need one. Check the details with the Consulate in your country before travelling). What I find great about Mongolia is that you can combine your experiences into one and you can make it a real adventure: have a hike, visit a local family, go horseriding, take cooking classes for a day or two and spend at least one night in a Ger Camp. How to get to Ulan Bator? Depending when you are travelling, you have a direct train from Moscow twice a week (train 004, train 006). There is a daily train from Irkutsk to Ulan Bator (a two-day ride) or depending on the departure day, you can get train 004 or 006 that goes from Moscow. ...

Excited to plan a trip to Bratislava? (We WERE!) Even if Slovakia is not on the bucket list of most of the travelers, it does not mean it is not a great place for short visits. Being situated between great European capitals, the city seems a bit forgotten. How we got there? We took the Eurolines bus from Prague and we were there in 4 hours. The ticket was ONLY 10 euros! Check out the ticket prices here.                                                      Our view from the bus from Prague to Bratislava Our view from the bus from Prague to Bratislava Why Bratislava? Bratislava is a tiny capital that gives you a feeling that you belong there. It is a small one, but this is not taking away its qualities of the perfect place for a city break or a stopover for your Euro-trip. The narrow streets send you back in time for a walk for...
