We boarded the Russian Train to Ekaterinburg late evening, with the gentle rhythm of the train led to a good night’s sleep. A full day on the train through a region of farms, small towns and villages interspersed with birch forests. Towers the end of the day we crossed the Europe-Asia Continental border arriving in Ekaterinburg, in late evening. Ekaterinburg is a more representative experience of a Russian city than say, Moscow and has a rich and fascinating history. It is surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside dotted with traditional Siberian villages. We were transferred to Hotel Onegin Hotel, a 4* hotel upon arrival.
