International trains that link Uzbekistan with its neighbouring countries are mainly served by Uzbekistan Railways or Russian Railways. They are designed for low-cost travel and for those who enjoy a laid-back journey. They travel at a speed of up to 100km/h.
Usually, there are two types of carriage: kupe (4-bed compartments) and platskart (dormitory style compartments with 54 beds/seats). Sheets, pillows, and blankets for the beds are provided. Although these trains offer a restaurant, we advise passengers to take their own food. We also recommend that passengers take personal hygiene products (such as toilet paper and soap) as the journeys can take several days.
Note: Some international trains have lower rates for early bookings.
