The first EU country on our part is Poland, and from there, after visiting the Polish sights, which, believe me, are worth your attention, you can already cheaply get to other countries by various means.

Method 1: Direct Train

One of the cheapest ways to get to Poland is the Polonaise train, which costs 115€ and takes 18 hours. The train goes through Belarus, the border between Russia and Belarus is formal, there is no inspection, adventures begin in Brest when the train needs to change wheels, as the gauge in Europe and former USSR is different. For about an hour, the train literally hangs in the air.

On the Polish-Belarusian border, which is the border of the Customs Union and the European Union, there is a double inspection, first by the Belarusian border guards, and then by the Polish ones. After passing the border, you can sleep normally, because. the train arrives in Warsaw in the morning at 8:40 CET (-2 hours from Moscow time).

Method 2: Outwit the boundaries

€115 is several times cheaper than by plane, but it can be even cheaper. Railways are arranged in such a way that if the train crosses the border, then the price of the ticket inevitably increases, how to avoid this?

The most recent station on the side of the Customs Union is the Belarusian Brest. Train tickets from Moscow cost about 55€. From Brest, 3 electric trains run daily to the Polish border station Terespol (Terespol) for 3 €, the journey time is only 18 minutes! And from Terespol you can go to Warsaw by direct train twice a day for 12€.

You can see the train schedule in Poland on the website rozklad-pkp.pl (you can switch to Russian). In total, it turns out 70 €, and in terms of time it is only a third (24 hours) longer. for a couple of hours on each side you will have to wait for the train, this time can be devoted to exploring Brest and small Terespol;)

Method 3: Outwit Russian Railways

It would seem, where even cheaper? Although Russia and Belarus are members of the Customs Union, but from the point of view of railways, the border exists, so if you are traveling by direct train from Moscow to Brest, you will pay 55€. However, there is an opportunity that not everyone knows about: you can buy 2 tickets for the same train for two segments: Moscow-Orsha and Orsha-Brest.

If you buy a ticket for the Orsha-Brest section through the Russian Railways website, then the price will be Russian, and if through the Belarusian Chygunka website poezd.rw.by, then the price will be Belarusian, only 3.5 € across Belarus from Orsha to Brest.

A pleasant surprise from BC, since the end of 2013, you can buy tickets via the Internet, using not only Belarusian bank cards, but also any others. The only disadvantage of this method, most likely, you will have to move from one car to another in Orsha. Thus, the entire trip to Warsaw will cost 52.5 €, or about 2,500 rubles.

Where to go from Warsaw?

You can fly from Poland on one of the low-cost airlines (Ryan Air, Wizz Air) to any country in Europe or by bus to neighboring countries, for example, on Ecolines or PolskiBus, tickets for the second one start from 1 zloty (0.25€)!

It's a low cost airline. WizZair operates flights from Russia only to Budapest, the prices there are low, we bought for 4,000 rubles there and back. And from there it is already easy to fly to other countries on Ryanair or on the same Wizzair for example. Of course, tickets must be taken in advance, then they will be much cheaper. On ryanair you can buy a ticket for 5 euros from Vilnius to Brussels, for example.
