The Eastern Tale

What could be better than an evening tour of Kazan, when the noise of the daytime turmoil subsides in the city and the evening lights of Kazan are lit.

Night Kazan will greet you with illuminated cascades of fountains at the Tatar Drama Theater named after G. Kamal, patterned fences of the park of the 1000th anniversary of Kazan and the illumination of the Kaban Lake, cozy light in the windows of numerous cafes, bars and restaurants.

A night tour of Kazan, starting in a lively center, where life does not subside around the clock, will lead you to the picturesque Fair Square, located near the white-stone walls of the ancient Kazan Kremlin. You will not leave indifferent fantastically beautifully illuminated mosque Kul Sharif – the largest in Europe. Here, on the territory of the Kremlin, rises the famous falling tower Syuyumbike - a historical monument that has become a symbol of the great past of Kazan. You will be amazed with its architecture by the embankment of the Kazanka River and the building of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Tatarstan, which is unlike any other administrative building, nicknamed by Kazan residents the Palace of Agriculture. The new Kremlin embankment is drowning in the lights.

The tour will take you to the other side of the river, where the so-called modern part of the city is located. But there are no surprises here either! The huge size of the bowl, cauldron or Tatar “Kazan”, from which, as legend tells, the name of the city “Kazan” was formed, attracts attention with its originality. The largest stadium of the Volga region "Kazan Arena", which hosted 6 matches of the World Cup 2018 and the opening of the Universiade 2013, amazes the eye of the Palace of Aquatics, which was a competitive arena of the World Aquatics Championship 2015 and one of the most important objects of the summer Universiade 2013 in sports swimming, diving, synchronized swimming.

Driving along the beautifully lit Millennium Bridge, built to celebrate the 1000th anniversary of Kazan, you will find yourself in Freedom Square, where the Opera House, Kazan Town Hall and the Conservatory have already been transformed and delight the eye in their evening lighting.
