Pyongyang is the main transport hub of the country: it has a network of roads, railways and air routes which link it to both foreign and domestic destinations. It is the starting point of inter-regional highways reaching Nampo, Wonsan and Kaesong.<ref name="EBPyongyang"/> [[Pyongyang Station|Pyongyang railway station]] serves the main railway lines, including the [[Pyongui Line]] and the [[Pyongbu Line]]. Regular international rail services to [[Beijing]], the Chinese border city of [[Dandong]] and [[Moscow]] are also available.

A rail journey to Beijing takes about 25&nbsp;hours and 25&nbsp;minutes (K27 from Beijing/K28 from Pyongyang, on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays); a journey to Dandong takes about 6 hours (daily); a journey to Moscow takes six days. The city also connects to the [[Eurasian Land Bridge]] via the [[Trans-Siberian Railway]]. A [[high-speed rail]] link to Wonsan is planned.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://ifes.kyungnam.ac.kr/eng/FRM/FRM_0101V.aspx?code=FRM150326_0001 |title=Outline for Development of Wonsan-Kumgangsan Tourist Region Revealed |publisher=Institute for Far Eastern Studies |date=26 March 2015 |access-date=20 April 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150427143855/http://ifes.kyungnam.ac.kr/eng/FRM/FRM_0101V.aspx?code=FRM150326_0001 |archive-date=27 April 2015 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
