Route

  1. 1Kazan KremlinThe cradle of the city: the only kremlin in Russia where an Orthodox cathedral stands next to a mosque, with the oldest buildings in Kazan.
  2. 2Old Tatar QuarterThe historic Tatar quarter: colourful merchant houses, old mosques and the Kaban lake embankment.
  3. 3Kremlyovskaya Street
  4. 4Ushkova HouseA mansion a merchant built to win a girl’s heart. We see it from outside: it is closed for restoration.
  5. 5Kazan UniversityRussia’s oldest university after Moscow’s, where Lenin, Tolstoy and Lobachevsky studied, with a quiet courtyard.
  6. 6Black Lake ParkA park every local loves; to me, the city’s atmosphere is felt best here.
  7. 7St Peter and Paul CathedralThe city’s most vivid cathedral, often compared to a garden of paradise, almost untouched since the 18th century.
