Birthplace of Yul Brynner, Vladivostok is the terminus of the original Trans-Siberian route - the longest continuous railroad in the world.
A bustling port home to the Russian Pacific fleet, Vladivostok is a pleasant city spread across a series of peaks, peninsulas, and islands.
At the end of such an epic journey, Vladivostok is a good place to relax for a few days, take in the Pacific air and unwind in this bustling seaside town.
For those with the energy, it is possible to continue onto Japan (following Paul Theroux’s footsteps) or Korea by ferry or air.
The scenic wonders of Kamchatka are also just a few hours away by plane.
On an overnight train, try tea Russia-style: black, with sugar, served in a glass, while dodging a tea spoon left in it. The spoon is a subject for many Russian jokes!
