The most usual (and easiest) route from Europe to China is via the classic Trans-Siberian Railway, shown in blue on the map below. But there is another route now open to foreigners, the so-called ‚Silk Route‘ via Kazakhstan, shown on the map in yellow. Let’s be clear, if you want to travel between Europe and China, the main Trans-Siberian route is faster and easier to arrange, both in terms of visas and train tickets – for a start, just one Trans-Siberian train will get you all the way from Moscow to Beijing. The ‚Silk route‘ will take a little more thought and organisation, with more visas, train tickets and stopovers to arrange. However, this page will explain routes, train times, costs and how to buy tickets. You can also use trains to reach Central Asia from Europe and Moscow.
