Kazan is one of the most modern cities in Russia, which successfully preserves its historical heritage. Along with trips to theaters and museums, tourists have the opportunity to attend sports events, for example, matches of the local “Rubin” in the RPL. If you don’t make it in time, it’s okay, because Fonbet online registration will allow you to watch the games live.
Kremlevskaya Street is a European charm in the heart of the city
Kremlevskaya Street, located in the Vakhitovsky district, is the most European in its architectural appearance. Built on a hill, presumably of artificial origin, the street is famous for buildings erected according to European canons. Special attention should be paid to Ushakova’s house, which was decorated with Venetian glass and French stained glass windows.
Alexandrovsky and Chernoyarovsky passages – trade heritage
Kazan can be proud of its status as the only city in tsarist Russia after Moscow and St. Petersburg, where there were two passages at once. Alexandrovsky Passage of the 19th century is known for its legend of idle clocks – their hands stopped after the death of merchant Alexandrov, and all attempts to fix them proved futile.
The National Museum is a treasure trove of history
Located in the historic Gostiny Dvor building, the National Museum of the Republic of Tatarstan is one of the largest cultural and historical museums of the Volga region. There is a rich exposition covering the period from Volga Bulgaria to modern times. Among the unique exhibits is Catherine II’s carriage, a replica of which adorns Bauman Street.
Staro-Tatarskaya Sloboda is the soul of Tatar culture
The historical quarter on the shore of Kaban Lake is a unique architectural ensemble, including more than 40 historical buildings. The shortest street in the city, Kunche, is located here, with a length of only 122 meters. The al-Marjani and Apanayevskaya mosques, built in the second half of the 18th century, deserve special attention. When visiting mosques, the dress code should be observed and the prayer time at 12:00 should be taken into account.
Staro-Tatarskaya Sloboda offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Tatar culture, and you can finish your walk on the embankment of Lake Kaban, watching the impressive water fountain.
