Despite the common opinion that traveling to Siberia is unbelievably difficult because of the distance involved, the real situation is not at all as terrible as it may seem. First of all, there is a flight connecting Novosibirsk with Europe (Frankfurt), approximate flying time of what is 6 hours. Then, there are good domestic connections from Moscow (about 4 hours).

Please see the official Novosibirsk Airport site for more information about timetables and international or domestic connections here.

Novosibirsk has an excellent railroad connection, too, having been situated right in the Trans-Siberian railway.



Trans-Siberian railway is the world's longest and the most famous train route that goes through Russia. It crosses the whole continent, starts in Moscow, passes through the European Russia, crosses Urals mountains (which separate Europe and Asia), continues into Siberia's taiga and steppes, and finishes in Vladivostok — the Russian Far East coast on the Pacific Ocean.



The Trans-Siberian is an immense route: along more than 10000 kilometers of its length you will see different landscapes, meet many different people and cultures (especially, if you hop off the train at few points), experience magnificient Siberian Baikal lake, and just enjoy the trip in the train.



So it is possible to reach almost all the cities, situated either to the east or to the west of Novosibirsk: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Ekaterinburg, Omsk, Irkutsk, Ulan-Ude, Ulan-Bator, Beijing, Vladivistok and the others.
