Getting There
1. Journey time approx 7+ hours by train (sleeper cabin)
2. Price varies with how far ahead you buy the ticket. We paid about $145 SGD for return tickets, when we bought it on the day we wanted to depart.
3. Best to buy on Russian Railways website http://pass.rzd.ru/main-pass/public/en not through the hotel. We saved about 2000 RUB = $40 SGD
4. Register on the website, you will need to access it to print and also a valid email to which the e-ticket will be sent to.
5. Select Moskva - Sankt-Peterburg and choose the date and time required. (Ideally depart at 11pm and you should reach by 7 am) This gives you ample time to move around the city. Most places open at 10am.
