''The Transsiberian journey across Russia carries maybe the most amount of mystique of all the train journeys of the world. It has been represented in cinema and literature for centuries even before the railway was constructed, notably Alexander von Humboldt's scientific expedition in 1829, whereupon he traversed Siberia in a coach using over 12,000 horses in total. It is a dream trip for many, to see the vast expanses and endless horizons of the Siberian landscape unfolding as the train rolls through taiga forests and sleepy towns of the Russian Far East. This film is just a taste of what to expect on your trip'' - Ciaran O'Connell
Did watch our video about VALENKI? ⬇️

If not - watch it! There is some interesting info for you!
Nadya just came back from a wonderful Siberian adventure, and by the way she visited a very unique place - Pazyryk tombs - place where the first prototypes of valenki were found by archeologists.
You were asking about facilities in the train.
Here you are: toilet tour! 😄

Thanks to our amazing traveller Jose from Mexico! He was traveling with us in 2018 🤗
Actually, we received this video for Easter 😁
Enjoy you day/ night/ salad/ tequila!
Our long trip across the continent!
Small dialogue of our travellers! 🤗💙
⠀
There is so much true:
"When I come back here, I will go to banya! I know how to go the best way, I know it's at the side of the main street".
⠀
We prefer authentic experience, local places which give you a flavor of culture!
⠀
Next stop 🚂 Irkutsk!
{ RUSSIAN BANYA (sauna) }
⠀
#Banya (a Russian type of sauna, a kind of steam bath) is one of the oldest Russian traditions. Despite the fact that this tradition is several centuries old, the banya is popular even today. You can find banyas in large cities and small towns. Usually those Russians who have summer cottages, almost always build their own banya there.
⠀
❓ What do you need a #venik in the banya for?
⠀
At Russian banya there are special bath #BROOMS (ве́ник) that are used. These brooms or veniks are bundles of twigs and leafy branches bound together from some kind of tree—usually they are from birch or oak trees. The veniks are dipped into cold water and then smacked briskly all over the body. There is a special person who is responsible for this, called banschik (ба́нщик). But usually people don't need banschik's help because groups of friends typically go together and are able to smack each other with veniks.
⠀
❗During every trip we go to banya! And that's a real authentic experience!
⠀
There are different kinds of banyas: private and public. And these two are completely different fun!
💡 The best thing about TransSibFun is travelling like locals.
