You’ll experience what it’s like to step back in time: from the retro carriages and heavy Soviet decor to the border crossing where the train literally changes its wheels to switch between Russian and European gauge tracks. What an adventure it is spending a night on this train !

The “Prietenia” train (meaning “Friendship”) has connected Moldova and Romania since the communist era. Today, it remains a living piece of Soviet history and a unique experience for train enthusiasts and travelers alike.

Whether you’re a train enthusiast or just curious about Eastern European travel, this journey offers a rare glimpse into a world that’s slowly disappearing.
