Long-expected international train service Moscow - Nice starts on the September, 23, 2010. The train will leave from Belorussky Railway terminal.
      
      The problem is that train trip Moscow - Nice will be very long, 50 hours, if the average speed is 57 km / h. It is nothing in comparison with Trans-Siberian journey, but nowadays it it more an attraction, than actual mean of transport. The Russian Railways hope that speed will be increased to 250 km /h.
      
      Journey Moscow - Nice will cost from EU 306 to EU 1, 050. Nice has been a tourist stronghold since long ago and the people will take this train. Anyway, such trip looks more like retro experience, than something contemporary. On the other hand, air services are not fully reliable, for example, in the case volcano eruption.
