If you walk along one of the humpback streets, for example, Astronomicheskaya Street, you can come to Kremlevskaya Street and to the Kazan State University, one of the oldest and largest universities of Russia. There are many most beautiful buildings of Kazan: the National Library, the Aleksandrovsky Passage, the National museum in this street. After a while, going down Musa Dzhalil Street, you have a chance to examine closely the Peter and Paul’s Cathedral.
On the other side of Bauman Street, near the Caban lake, you will bump into the Eastern atmosphere of the Old Tatar settlement. It was formed in the second half of the XIX century, when Sobornaya, Azimovskaya, Apanayevskaya and Mardjani mosques were constructed.
During your visit to Kazan, you should visit historically significant places, which are located not far from the city. You should visit the Sviyazhsk island founded by Ivan the Terrible as a powerful fortification, Raifa Bogoroditsky men's monastery, in which the miracle icon of Holly Virgin of Georgia is being preserved, and of course, the ancient city Bulgar, which was the capital of Volga Bulgaria.
The constantly changing and renovating Kazan is a hospitable city worthy to visit it again and again. (From n. ru)
