Russia’s Trans-Siberian Railway transforms into the world’s longest family road trip where three generations share compartments across 9,289 kilometers from Moscow to Vladivostok. First-class cabins on the Rossiya train ($2,800/family) include shower access and dining cars serving borscht while Siberian forests blur past windows. Stop at Irkutsk for Lake Baikal’s crystalline depths—world’s oldest and deepest lake where nerpa seals entertain children at Listvyanka’s aquarium. Baikal View Hotel ($145/night) provides traditional banya experiences where families alternate between steam rooms and icy lake plunges.

Moscow’s Red Square dazzles when St. Basil’s candy-colored domes frame ice skating rinks (December-March) where toddlers wobble past Lenin’s Mausoleum while teenagers Instagram GUM department store’s glass galleries. Four Seasons Moscow’s family suites ($850/night) overlook Kremlin walls—their concierge arranges backstage Bolshoi Ballet tours where children try tutus while grandparents reminisce about Cold War tensions dissolved by pirouettes.

St. Petersburg’s Hermitage houses 3 million artworks across 1,500 rooms—impossible to see everything, so family-focused tours concentrate on Egyptian mummies and Rembrandt’s portraits. Belmond Grand Hotel Europe’s Caviar Bar ($480/night) teaches three generations proper blini rolling while Nevsky Prospekt’s street performers juggle fire outside—imperial grandeur meeting modern circus.
