Question by Deborah B: How can I get to Moscow from Rome by rail?
I’m looking to get to Moscow by rail, I don’t mind how many stops I need to make. How should I go about it? Also, what kind of Eurorail offers are there and what do you recommend?

The easiest trip in terms of number of connections is Rome to Vienna (night train departing Rome at 7:10 pm) to Warsaw to Moscow. The total travel time on this route is over 46 hours. There’s only a 16 minute layover in Vienna for the train to Warsaw.
The German train website is good for planning trips throughout Europe: http://www.bahn.com/i/view/index.shtml . You can see other options there.
Eurail may not be the best option. It’s often cheaper to buy individual tickets directly. In this case, Eurail won’t cover the whole route. From Rome to Vienna, you could get seats for 99 euro at the standard price. A berth is 119 euro. However, if you book in advance, there’s a discounted “Smart” fare of 49 euro for a berth (or 29 for a seat). If you have a Eurail global pass, you would still need to pay an additional 27 euro reservation fee for the berth. http://www.trenitalia.com/

You have to take "Freccia Rossa" from termini station in Rome, then change in Mestre (near Venice) and take the train to Szolnok and change again for Moscow.
It will take 2 days and 17hours.
You can see time table and reserve tickets in the official page of italian railway http://www.fsitaliane.it/ or at tickets office in Termini Station.
