Russia tour package

Moscow and St Petersburg are about 800 km away from each other and it's one of the most popular train routes in Russia. The fastest train ("Sapsan" express) takes 4 hours and the train ticket from Moscow to St. Petersburg costs about 50 for a 2nd-class one way ticket if you buy it early ( 60 to 100 for last-minute trips).

There are also about 10 overnight trains, which take about 8 hours to travel. The train ticket price range for those trains is from 20 (for a bed in a 3rd class common carriage) to about 40 (for a bed in a 2nd class 4-berth sleeper) or 90 for the 1st class (2-berth sleeper). They usually leave Moscow at about 23.00-2.00 and arrive to St Petersburg the next day at about 8.00-10.00. Those trains are pretty comfortable, but you're better off taking the more expensive "firmenny" ( ) trains, which have air conditioning and are cleaner. There are also a couple of day trains in summer, which take about 8 hours for the whole trip and those are quite cheap: from 20 to 40 one way for a seat
