I'm moving my Tver pages to www.staritsa.info/tver.htm Go there for anything between Moscow and St. Petersburg or along the Golden Ring or anything else someone travelling between the two capitals may conveivably end up. |
All trains from Moscow to St. Petersburg travel though Tver, and they tend to leave Moscow from the Leningradsky train station (Metro Komsomolskaya) in the evening. Electric commuter trains, which are not as comfortable (noisy, dirty, with loud vendors) run all the time. Or you can hop on the bus also at the Leningradsky station. Moscow to Tver ticket will cost you from $3 (bus or commuter train) to $15 (1st class ticket, real train).
No need to plan in advance unless you want to ride a specific train.
This
is the train station in Tver. Moscow is to your left, St. Petersburg to your
right.
The bus station is 200 yards back towards Moscow - you can board the Staritsa or Rzhev bus there. The last bus leaves about 6pm but for $30 or so a cab will take you to Staritsa. See Tver to Staritsa
For an appropriate contribution to the car upkeep fund I'll personally drive you to Staritsa.
A car trip from Moscow may take you through Klin (associated with the name of Tchaikovsky), New Jerusalem (build when Russia thought of itself as the center of Christian civilization), Volokolamsk and Rzhev (tank battles of WW2).. Links are to Russian resources but you will still be able to enjoy the pictures.
Ruins of a church near Guryevo, 40 miles from Staritsa.
This composition near Volokolamsk makes use of a German tank embedded into
Russian cement. Now, 20+ years after the construction of the monument,
cement is crumbling under the tank.
A fortification from the WW2 days north from Volokolamsk.
See elsewhere for the Moscow to St. Petersburg by car proposal or its Moscow to Staritsa part.
