Great Rail Journeys - St Petersburg to Tashkent

Great Rail Journeys - St Petersburg to Tashkent

In 1994, soon after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russian prima ballerina Natalia Makarova takes us (and her son) for a great train ride, from her beloved St Petersburg to the capital of Uzbekistan, Tashkent. This is more than a train journey, however; Makarova also introduces us to the places and faces she loves as we go for this romantic Russian ride.​

I am planning a vacation to Almaty next year, aka the City of Apples.

Wish you all the best. In Soviet Kazakhstan, it was called Alma-Ata, now called Almaty.

I would strongly encourage you to try and visit Baikonur, time permitting.
