Best time to travel the Trans-Siberian Railway

It is possible to travel the railroad throughout the year, although the best period runs from June to September, but other months also have their benefits. Lake Baikal, for example, is beautiful in March, when the lake is frozen but the temperatures become more bearable. You can also enjoy the snow-covered landscapes through the winter months. Try to steer clear of April, which is the wet and swampy season due to the snow melting. Late spring and summer are generally the best time to experience Russia.
