Kazan – the capital of Tatarstan
If you want to plunge into another world, get acquainted with another culture, see the beauty of temples and mosques, then you do not need to go abroad. Our huge country has such an extraordinary republic called Tatarstan. And Tatarstan, in turn, has its unusually beautiful capital - Kazan. Kazan is an amazing city in everything. He collected all the most unusual, interesting and fascinating. To understand how unusual Kazan is, you need to see for yourself. But to get an idea of this city, I will tell you my impressions.
Palace of Agriculture
Let me start with the main thing – the Kazan Kremlin. Surprisingly, you can come to this place every day and it will not get bored. The Kremlin has placed on its territory: the Kul Sharif Mosque, the Spasskaya Tower, the Syuyumbike Tower, the Annunciation Cathedral are the most important objects that I have named to you. The rest can be listed for a very, very long time. I think the Kul Sharif Mosque is the most beautiful, and many people would agree with me. It beckons with its white and blue combination of colors, small details (for example, months at the ends of the towers). You can always look and admire. This is especially true for those who have never seen a mosque or even a church.
State Museum of RT
In fact, Kazan is rich in mosques, they are in almost every quarter. Especially there are many of them in the Old Tatar Sloboda, which, of course, every tourist needs to walk. The Old Tatar Sloboda is a historical part of the city. To see it - to know the old Kazan.
Kul-Sharif
The main pedestrian street of Kazan is Bauman Street. It is also necessary to walk along it. Here you will find many cafes and restaurants of national cuisine, souvenir shops, various monuments, as well as do not miss the opportunity to encounter the Cathedral - Epiphany. It can be overcome on foot in 15 minutes and then go to Gabdulla Tukay Square. From this square begins the second pedestrian street - St. Petersburg. Of course, it is not all pedestrian, but it is also possible to walk almost to the end and see many interesting things, such as the Rotunda and the Puppet Theatre.
A separate topic is Tatar cuisine. It is extremely tasty, and you can try it in almost any cafe or even a store (this applies mostly to baking). Healthy food lovers and those who are very careful about their weight will have quite a difficult time, because it is almost impossible to refrain from such cooking, and it is incredibly tasty, so you can not limit yourself to one thing. Mandatory, I believe, you need to try baking - caste, echpochmak, belesh (I will not list all). You also need to try chak-chak, because this is a true Tatar delicacy. And be sure to bring him home (a lot of souvenir chak-chaks are sold, of course, they are edible). Dumplings for the groom, horse meat sausage - it is also advisable to try. They also have delicious desserts - talkysh and tatla. Talk about each dish for quite a long time, but if you really became interested in how they look and what they consist of, then on the Internet you will be given a more detailed description and even more - how to cook yourself (this is for those who like this or another dish / dessert).
In order not to miss any of the attractions, we recommend to contact kazan choose city tour.
National dessert - talkysh
Kazan museums also play an important role. There are many of them, and almost everyone can go. Unfortunately, I did not have time to visit all, but I went to the most important. The State Museum of the Republic of Tatarstan is the first in the list to visit. 2 floors of history and amazing exhibits. You can spend the whole day here. And, by the way, it is better to take a guide, because it is very difficult to understand yourself, and it takes more time. Next is the Gallery of Modern Art, which is also quite spectacular. It contains various paintings of great Russian artists. The Gallery of Modern Art is for the amateur. Most of all in this gallery of photographs, one floor is occupied by paintings - quite good and interesting. There is also a museum-memorial of the Great Patriotic War, it is up to you to visit it or not. But to be honest, in Russia there are much more interesting museums dedicated to the memory of this war. There are more than 20 museums in Kazan, and if you stay there for a long time, everyone can visit.
Do you know where to stay? We suggest you find it. hotel or hotel in Kazan. You can also choose. Recreation center to have a great time with family.
Puppet Theatre
Finally, let me tell you about the places you need to see – the Palace of Agriculture. Amazing building, located near the Kremlin. Then you can walk to the NCC Kazan, there is a good view of the Kazanka River and the city. You need to walk along the Kremlin street. The center in the Execution can and should be walked around - it is small and very interesting. And if you spend a long time here, you can even leave the countryside. There is also something interesting around Kazan.
It is impossible to describe Kazan in a few words or even in a short article. If I wanted to, I would write a book about the trip. She left very good and vivid memories. I believe that everyone should visit Kazan and even more – its surroundings. I’m sorry if I missed something about this beautiful city, because every corner deserves special attention.
