Everyone knows that Kazan is the capital of Tatarstan. But few people thought that this city could be called the center of the East European Plain. Located eight hundred kilometers from Moscow, at the confluence of the Volga and Kama, the capital of Tatarstan is in no way inferior to the capital of the Russian Federation either in architecture or in social or scientific development.
Moreover, it is in Kazan that unique buildings are located, which cannot be found even in Moscow. Only here tourists can admire the "real" flying saucer in which the circus is located, appreciate the modern Pyramid of the cultural complex.
And here you can also declare your love on the amazing and unique cable-stayed, very high bridge over the Kazanka, transport yourself to a fairy-tale kingdom, visit the Ekhiyat puppet theater, decorated with multi-colored mosaics. Those who do not like fairy tales can travel to the future on a spaceship of the future: just visit the building of the National Library or the "falling" crystal towers of the National Bank.
The capital of Tatarstan is more than a thousand years old. Surprisingly, the modern city has managed not only to acquire the features of the future, but also to preserve its ancient appearance. The historical center of the city is amazing: former tenement and merchant houses, religious buildings, industrial buildings that have been standing here since the past centuries form an incredible architectural ensemble that amazes tourists.
The capital of Tatarstan is unique not only in terms of architecture. More than ten universities, six academies, several religious educational institutions, three military schools and several branches of Moscow universities are based here. The Academy of Sciences of Tatarstan is known far beyond Russia for its achievements.
Where there are many educational institutions, there are many young people. In order for boys and girls to have a good rest, the capital of Tatarstan has opened dozens of nightclubs, many restaurants with unique cuisine, and dozens of other entertainment venues.
Kazan is the most developed sports city in our country. That is why the World Universiade will be held here in the summer, which is another reason to visit this unique city. The Sports Village built on the occasion of the Universiade is the only complex of its kind in the world. It is expected that after the Universiade it will become a club of federal importance for the training of Russian national teams. And it's almost a thousand kilometers from Moscow!
One can talk about Kazan for a long time, but it is best to visit this city at least once. Because the capital of Tatarstan is the best example of howlook forward to the future, honoring the past and cherishing the present.
And there is where to stay in the city. There are countless hotels here. There are huge modernist buildings, there are hotels located in old buildings, small private hotels.
If you want to see something new, if you like to travel, remember: the Republic of Tatarstan is always glad to see you. Its capital will do everything to ensure that tourists, once visiting the city, come back here again and again.
