Kul Sharif Mosque, located within the walls of the Kazan Kremlin in Russia, is not just a symbol of Tatar culture and Islamic heritage, but a majestic architectural wonder that tells a story of resilience, faith, and revival. Originally constructed in the 16th century, the mosque was tragically destroyed during the siege of Kazan by Ivan the Terrible in 1552. After centuries, it was beautifully reconstructed and reopened in 2005 as a tribute to its historical significance and the spiritual heart of Tatarstan. The modern mosque blends traditional Islamic motifs with modern design, making it a breathtaking fusion of old and new. With its sky-blue domes, towering minarets, and intricate calligraphy, Kul Sharif Mosque stands as one of the largest mosques in Russia and Europe. The interior is equally stunning, with a massive chandelier, marble columns, and stained-glass windows that filter soft light across the prayer hall. Visitors are welcomed to explore its museum, prayer areas, and observation balcony that offers panoramic views of the Kremlin and the Volga River. Whether you're interested in history, architecture, or spiritual serenity, Kul Sharif Mosque is a must-visit destination that leaves a lasting impression on the soul.

The Kul Sharif Mosque, established in 2005 at the heart of Kazan within the Kazan Kremlin, serves as a poignant symbol of Tatarstan's cultural resilience. Built on the site where a mosque stood in the 16th century, demolished during an attack on the city, the Kul Sharif Mosque pays homage to its historical significance. Financed through donations from over 40 thousand individuals and organizations, the mosque's architectural grandeur includes ornate decorations, Quranic verses etched in marble, and intricate details like Czech glass light fixtures. With a unique design featuring intersecting squares, a symbolic dome, and towering minarets, the mosque stands as a testament to Tatarstan's rich heritage. Inside the complex, the Museum of Islamic Culture of the Volga Region offers a captivating exploration of Islamic history. Additionally, the mosque complex features the Museum of Ancient Manuscripts and a library. Visitors can admire depictions of tulips, ancient Bulgarian symbols, and carpets donated by Iran within the mosque's interior. The mosque, accommodating up to 1,500 worshippers, stands not only as a place of prayer but also as a cultural hub. Free entry to the mosque includes access to its rich history, while tickets are required for the museums. Operating daily from 9 am to 6 pm, the mosque observes a special dress code, providing capes for those in need. Friday prayers from noon to 2 o'clock contribute to the mosque's significance as a religious and cultural landmark. The emphasis on preserving Tatarstan's history and Islamic culture is underscored by the enduring presence of the mosque and its enriching museums.

Definitely a must if you visit the city. Elegant and beautiful architecture with the unique blue color. The place is a bit crowded and touristy. The lighting at night is very nice also. Worth the visit.

Amazing mosque stands on top of the hill overlooking kazan. The mosque can be seen from the majority of the city. Blue and white contrasts looks great in day and night time. Truly great to see anytime. With the right clothing you can go in and check out the inside

For each masjid is a place to calm your heart and soul in a world of problems and concerns. It can accommodate 6,000 worshipers. Its inauguration on July 24, 2005, marked the beginning of celebrations dedicated to the Millennium of Kazan.

Though I'm not a Muslim, I must admit that this is a real work of art! A must see when in Kazan! Actually, it's impossible to miss it if you visit the Kremlin.

Best street in Kazan Ends at the beautiful kremlin complex

Super.

(Translated by Google) The apartment we rented was a minute's walk from the Arbat and the Kremlin. On the first day we dropped our bags and went to look. There weren't a lot of people, which was nice. No one intruded, and we avoided horses and donkeys for photos. The lively scene only captivates you and you have time to turn your head in different directions. There are many establishments from inexpensive to quite expensive. There is something and someone to take a photo with. They gave brochures, but not intrusively. There is a lot to take a walk and see. On the last day we took the metro to the Ring shopping center - Tukay Square, and walked back and rested, leaving tomorrow. On the first day, we also saw people relaxing on benches🤦 it was already at ten o’clock in the evening, the police were not seen. Everything was civilized, quiet and calm with my daughter. Anyone who loves an active life has seen a couple of hostels right on Bauman. (Original) Снятая нами квартира находилось в минуте ходьбы от Арбата и от Кремля. В первый же день побросали сумки и пошли смотреть. Людей не толпа, что порадовало. Никто не навязывался, а лошадей и ослов для фото мы обходили. Оживленная захватывает только и успеваешь крутить головой в разные стороны. Много заведений от не дорогих до достаточно дорогих. Есть с чем и с кем сфоткаться . Дали брошуры, но не навязчиво. Погулять и посмотреть есть на что. В последний день доехали на метро до ТЦ Кольцо это площадь Тукая, а назад шли и отдыхали завтра уезжаем. В первый день видели и людей отдыхающих на лавочках🤦 это уже в часов десят вечера, полицию не видели. Были с дочерью все цивильно, тихо и спокойно. Кто любит активную жизнь видела пару хостелов прям на Баумана.

(Translated by Google) The central pedestrian street of the city. It starts from Tukay Square and ends directly at the Kremlin, leading to Millennium Square. A pretty street paved with paving stones; with fountains, lanterns and benches, quaint new monuments. Here you will find many bars, restaurants and souvenir shops. After the Kremlin, this is probably the next item on the list for everyone who comes to Kazan. (Original) Центральная пешеходная улица города. Начинается от площади Тукая и заканчивается непосредственно у Кремля, выходя к площади Тысячелетия. Симпатичная улочка, вымощенная брусчаткой; с фонтанами, фонарями и скамейками причудливыми новыми памятниками. Здесь вы найдёте множество баров, ресторанов и магазинов с сувениркой. После Кремля это, наверное, следующий пункт в списке для каждого, кто приезжает в Казань.

(Translated by Google) Bauman Street - Kazan Kremlin! A lively place, you can spend half a day there looking at the architecture and monuments. There are many excellent restaurants and cafes with national cuisine! Very beautiful ! The street on one side leads to the observation deck and the Kremlin, which is incredibly beautiful and contrasting! On the other hand, the Cathedral of the Epiphany - it has a steep lookout over the entire Arbat, at the top it will take your breath away! (Located next to the monument to Chaliapin) -Don’t buy souvenirs there for no reason, in stores like (Bechtele or in the markets of Kazan for example - half the price)!!! -Well, the second minus is that the whole Arbat is mostly souvenir! A couple of theaters, a couple of shops and cafes, but in general (if you don’t talk about architectural monuments along the way) everything is souvenir shops, at first it’s interesting, but after half the street the sameness begins to irritate (Original) Улица Баумана - Казанский Кремль! Живое местечко, можно провести там пол дня рассматривая архитектуру да памятники., много отличных ресторанов и кафе с национальной кухней! Очень красиво ! Улица с одной стороны выходит к смотровой площадке и кремлю ., что невероятно красиво и контрастно! С другой стороны собор Богоявления Господня - у него крутая смотровая на весь Арбат., на верху дух захватывает ! (Находится рядом с памятником Шаляпину) -Сувениры там не берите не за что , в магазинах типа (Бехтеле или на рынках той же Казани - в два раза дешевле)!!! -Ну и второй минус, весь Арбат, по большей части - сувенирная! Пару театров, пару магазинов и кафе, но в общей массе (если не говорить об памятниках архитектуры по пути) все - это сувенирные лавки, сперва это интересно, но уже через пол улицы начинает раздражать однотипность

(Translated by Google) Walk alone, with friends, with family. Lots of cafes, restaurants, entertainment venues. Old Kazan, cultural heritage sites. Souvenir shops and sweets. Craft beer, national cuisine, moonshine museum... entertainment for every taste)) (Original) Прогуляться одному, с друзьями, с семьёй. Множество кафе, ресторанов, развлекательных заведений. Старая Казань, объекты культурного наследия. Сувенирные лавки и сладости. Крафтовое пиво, национальная кухня, музей самогона... развлечения на любой вкус))

(Translated by Google) Beautiful pedestrian street full of shops, restaurants and museums. Certainly the most popular in all of Kazan, it is connected to the Kremlin (Original) Bella via pedonale piena di negozi, ristoranti e musei. Sicuramente la più gettonata di tutta Kazan, é collegata col Cremlino

You need 2 days to see everything that this place has to offer. Churches, shops, modern and old buildings… This place is a mix of nature, peace and life. Mix of history, culture and architecture. Of course, religion also. You just can not stop. If you have a chance to visit this place, go, go, go! You will never forget this amazing place and it will be an unforgettable experience for your whole life. You can learn a lot of things about Russia today and also in the past. ❤️ Привет из Сербии 💙

Very cool place to visit. The tour around the wall is totally worth it! Just bring good walking shoes cause there are lots of steps. The overlook is simply amazing! Great views of the rivers and countryside. Lots of paths for walking and benches for sitting.

You will have to visit this every once in a while, The experience is fascinating. I didn't cross the Chkalov Stairs, but the fire, playground, and the State Duma + Administration building was great. Would go again.

It's a very big place surrounded by history, museums, and the Volga. For that reason, you may wish to spend at least two days to catch the moments that are totally worth it.

The Kremlin offers a spectacular view of the city. You can take a sightseeing tour of four towers and a wall for 250 rubles (0.5$). A lot of old military equipment. A lively place. Very steep slopes, you need to be as careful as possible. Years of the construction of the towers are the 1500's. Nearby there are several good restaurants and cafes. There is a very long staircase to the embankment. In the Kremlin there are government buildings.

Very interesting place. With relatively well conserved walls and even some military vehicles from the second war era, the place is gives a nice experience for adults and children There are some gift small shops were you can get folk and soviet era souvenirs (the price is a little bit hide but nothing out of reality for a touristic place).

Beautiful Historic place

(Translated by Google) Great street for walking. Puppet theatre, cafes, playgrounds, the children enjoyed walking. (Original) Отличная улица для прогулок. Театр кукол, кафе, площадки, дети с удовольствием гуляли.

(Translated by Google) It's simply a pleasant pedestrian street with some interesting buildings, an abundance of small architectural forms, and cafes. But the constant paving repairs spoil everything. At least where we walked—from Sverdlov to the Kremlin. (Original) Просто приятная для прогулки пешеходная улица с некоторыми интересными зданиями, обилием малых архитектурных форм и кафе. Но все портит перманентный ремонт мощения. По крайней мере, там где мы шли - от Свердлова до кремля.

(Translated by Google) I think it is the most famous and touristic street of the city. Along the way, there are many shops selling souvenirs that you can buy, especially for touristic reasons. These stores are suitable for every budget, you just need to do a little research. You can think of it as a mini version of Taksim street in Istanbul. It is a busy street, I enjoyed wandering around it. I spent a lot of time watching on this street. (Original) Şehrin sanırım en ünlü ve turistik caddesi .Yol boyunca özellikle turistik olarak satın alabileceğiniz bir çok hediyelik eşya satan mağaza mevcut.Bu mağazalar her bütçeye uygun sadece biraz araştırmak gerekiyor.İstanbul da ki Taksim caddesinin minik hali olarak düşünebilirsiniz.Yoğun bir cadde ben gezerken severek etrafı izleyerek çok zaman geçirdim bu caddede.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful pedestrian street. Interesting architecture. There are many cafes, restaurants, shops of various price categories. Atmospheric place. The street looks especially impressive in the evening with the buildings illuminated. Nice to take a walk. (Original) Красивая пешеходная улица. Интересная архитектура. Много кафе, ресторанов, магазинов различной ценовой категории. Атмосферное место. Особенно эффектно улица смотрится в вечернее время с подсветкой зданий. Приятно прогуляться.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful street with many cafes and restaurants. Beautiful lighting in the evening (Original) Красивая улица с множеством кафе и ресторанов. Вечером красивая подсветка

(Translated by Google) Perhaps the most colorful, bright and interesting place in Nizhny! A must-visit, especially in the evening hours, when musicians, animal trainers,... (Original) Пожалуй самое красочное, яркое интересное место в Нижнем! Обязательно к посещению, особенно в вечерние часы, когда на улицу выходят музыканты, дрессировщики животных,...

(Translated by Google) It's nice to walk along this street, there is always joy around. (Original) Приятно пройтись по этой улице, вокруг всегда радость.

River, Steps, sailing, boat trip, Museum historic must visit during your stay at Nizhny Novgorod

Quite impressive and spectacular. There is a picturesque view from the top of the stairs.

Be active and climb the stairs. Enjoy the view over the great Volga

Very nice view on a Volga and Oka rivers. You can see 20 km ahead because the monument is placed on a very high hill.

The most amazing view in Nizhny Novgorod. Don't miss it if you're in Nizhny.

As you walk through the north grounds of the Kremlin, you'll encounter this beauty of a 1800s staircase. Simply stunning.

One of the most beautiful places in the town. Important to visit and count the stairs up and down

Great water park. Stayed in the room. Payment for the room includes a visit to the water park, which is very convenient - there is no queue and a visit to the Ferris wheel. I did not like the attitude of the guard on the street. Arrived by car. He asked the guards where to park, the guards replied that now some big people are now in the hotel so they won’t be able to park. After they arrived at the reception they asked what was the problem with parking. They answered that there were no problems and found a place. Listening to lies was not pleasant at a hotel of this level.

Very nice water park with a beautiful view of Kazan. The food is okay but the beer is fairly priced and nice & cold.

I expected more from this place - to be honest. It is mostly very crowded because not only people from Hotel Riviera come there (for Hotel guests its free entrance) but also people from outside come. A lot of families with small kids - for the kids it surely is a kind of water-wonderland. You have to wait quite some time to get your turn on the different slides they have - although they are a nice fun. They also offer massage, Finnish sauna, Russian banya and Hamam (but all of them not hot enough for my taste). Real good thing is that you ha e a basin that has a connection to the outside - which is especially nice in winter times. You can get food and drinks at some different places too - but don't expect real high quality kitchen. Best time to go there is after 20.30PM - the place is open until 23.00PM - in the evening there are less people and kids.

Hotel is located riverside, you can see Kazan Kremlin from your hotel. One of the largest Gym with all equipment and trainers to guide you. Staff is humble and professional. They might have to give English training to all the staff members.

The hotel guest has a free pass to water park with a number of pipes, basins and sauna. You always know how to spend your evening. Open until 23:00.

I'll always remember this place . Every thing is well organised. Many games . There are restaurants. Bar. Hookah. Sauna . I think you'll find there every thing you ever wanted . Just remember to take a waterproof camera with you . I recommend this park for every one.

This park is very fun and well kept. However, I was expecting more of a thrill from the water slides, but overall they were ok.

In the evening worth visiting, the way it is being lightened looks great with that big tree in the middle

An impressive example of modern urban architecture is truly world-class. Located near the historic center of the capital of Tatarstan. A semicircular enfilade of columns hovering over the square surrounding the complex of buildings. And its center, which is crowned with a fantastic tree stretching into a reflection of the blue sky ... Bravo!

Amazing! Awesome! Cool!

Great monument, with very unique style. Definitly worth visiting :)

Good to see at night and morning too

Fantastic architecture

It's nice and brandnew. Build in the form of French Baroque.

Salavat Monument is a nice place to go visit when in Ufa, especially in summer. Beautiful flowers when walking towards the monument, small fountains. An amazing view from where the statue stands, you can see the river in both directions. On one side you'll be able to see the bridge where the train crosses and if your lucky you can get an amazing picture of that view. Few shops for gifts and few places to get your refreshment, snacks or ice cream (which is most welcoming especially with the summer sun). You can walk down the short way or the long way depending on how much time you have. Both trails are nice a relaxing to walk through. There are a few places where you can see the Tatar history (attire work in the olden days) you can then walk further down to the river bed where they are building a new walking path. This will be quite nice once complete.

It's a good place with a wonderful view and historical places and park and kind people and a pure environment actually I miss this place because I like such places which have like those views and green park and blue sky and forest view from this place and traditional houses and river , but be careful because it dangerous place don't stay the a long time or with kids or under situation of alcohol or drugs or any narcotics at all because you may through our from the edge of the salavat be careful guys I which you a good time

It's a good place to view the White River and take a walk in the fresh air.

Nice place with a nice view over the Belaya river. For Tourists a must see. There are also a lot of small stores for souvenirs, food and drinks. The place is very close to the Hilton Garden Inn.

The biggest of all monument in ufa. Seeing is believing. The first time I came to Ufa . As we were crossing the bridge to the city I was gazing at this well lit monument at night. It is purely magnificent. The monument is located on hill and which make it more imposing . Usually an excellent place to visit .

The place is so lovely and beautiful. It was under construction when I went but definitely was worth the visit..😍

Very nice little park with quite an impressive statue. Great views over the river and the city in the back. Lots of people strolling around in the evening.

More than 200 species of Animals. Worth visiting in summer. Don't forget to carry your university card. It will give you a discount worth 300 Rub. An animal-heaven must visit.

It is named after the province of high diversity in South Africa, Limpopo. It features lot of warm-blooded animals, such as bears, variety of birds, kangaroos, monkeys and herbivores as antelopes. It has wide space, welcoming atmosphere, and you even get to feed animals.

You can feel love on every corner.. Best zoo ever

The zoo is quite small, but considering the prices well worth its money. The kids enjoyed themselves a lot, animals first and then the rides.

Best zoo park with four continental animals and with wide area and feel like real....

This place is very good. I must walk with children. There are a lot of animals.

Very nice place to go with kids. Nice zoo with the possibility to feed some animals.

The tower, once part of the city's kremlin and known for its lean, was straightened in the 1930s and 1990s. Its construction date is uncertain, with some suggesting the 18th century, while legend claims it was built in a week by Ivan the Terrible's artisans. Scholars debate its purpose, with some questioning the need for a military watchtower in a peaceful region. The tower's architecture, influenced by Tatar design, suggests it may be older than the 18th century. Over time, its top symbol changed from a double-headed eagle to a red star and now a Muslim crescent.

The tower, once part of the city's kremlin and known for its lean, was straightened in the 1930s and 1990s

There is a tale abot this tower. It says that Tzar Ivan the terrible built it as a request from princess Suyumbike when he proposed her. The tower is supposed to be higher of the highest mosque.

A leaning tower with a fascinating legend associated with it. It offers panoramic views of the city from its top.

It is a symbol of the old city of Kazan, a historical place and a museum.

Nice tower. The interesting thing is that it actually leans like the Leaning Tower of Pisa!

An interesting place to visit even during the night time.

Don’t miss to visit the Petropavlovsky Sabor (St Peter and Paul Cathedral). Just recently completed a complete renovation and shines in new splendor. From the main entrance you have the most beautiful sunset over the roofs of Kazan.

The cathedral is under maintenance. The outer walls of the cathedral are beautiful. There is one room museum on the ground floor. The ticket price is 100 Rubles.

Ah oh, it's repairing now

Beautiful Cathedral in Kazan.

Real Russian place

So beautiful

(Translated by Google) The Peter and Paul Cathedral is the oldest architectural monument. It was built in 1723-1726. The temple is fabulously beautiful, bright, painted. It catches the eye from afar, and from close up - you can't take your eyes off it. It has an interesting history. If you are in Kazan for the first time, I highly recommend visiting. The temple is truly an adornment of the city. (Original) Петропавловский собор - древнейший памятник архитектуры. Был построен в 1723-1726 гг. Храм сказочной красоты, яркий , расписной. Издалека приковывает взгляд, а вблизи- глаз не оторвать. Имеет интересную историю. Если вы впервые в Казани, очень советую посетить. Храм действительно является украшением города.

The Temple of All Religions, located in Kazan, Tatarstan, Russia, is a unique architectural and cultural complex that symbolizes the harmony of various faiths. Constructed by architect Ildar Khanov beginning in 1992, the temple is designed to represent elements from many different religions, including Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and Judaism. The structure features a diverse array of architectural styles, with colorful domes, spires, and symbols from numerous religious traditions. Each section of the temple is dedicated to a different faith, showcasing altars, icons, and artifacts that reflect the beliefs and practices of those religions. The Temple of All Religions is intended as a place of peace, worship, and dialogue among different cultures and faiths. It emphasizes the idea of unity and mutual respect among people of different backgrounds. Visitors are often drawn to its unique design and the message of coexistence it promotes..

The Temple of All Religions, also known as the Universal Temple or the All-Faiths Temple, is a unique architectural marvel located in Kazan, Russia. Conceived by local artist Ildar Khanov, it features a blend of architectural styles inspired by various religious traditions, including Orthodox Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and Judaism. Despite its name, it is not a functioning place of worship but rather a cultural and educational center promoting tolerance and understanding among different faiths. The temple's colorful exterior and eclectic design make it a popular tourist attraction, reflecting Kazan's commitment to religious diversity and harmony.

Good Concept, but needs serious work and maintenance. Looks beautiful from the outside but when you go inside you'll find yourself in a heap of mess. Some rooms were very well maintained and quite impressive but others were totally messed up. Also the place felt strange as the creator's photo was everywhere along with other scriptures, felt odd. Overall a good place, although needs serious maintenance and remodeling.

This is a very disappointing place. Actually, the building is beautiful from the outside. If you have a lot of time, you can come by bus and just take a picture of the exterior. We regret that we wasted our time to visit this building inside. It’s not a religious place, but a museum. There are many ugly paintings and unfinished artworks. Badly organized and without any supporting information. Hope it will improve with time!

Very interesting and unusual place in Kazan suburbs. The entire complex is work of a famous Tatarstan artist who used to live there before starting this project. The place is still under construction but there are many finished parts. You stroll through Christian, Islam, Buddhist, Hindu....rooms and buildings within the complex. Best to come by taxi, around 6 Euros from city center. Cheap entry fee

I recently had the opportunity to visit the Temple of All Religions in Kazan, and it was truly a unique and fascinating experience. This architectural marvel is a testament to the city's cultural diversity and its commitment to religious harmony. Upon entering the temple, I was immediately struck by its grandeur and intricate design. The building itself is a stunning blend of various architectural styles, incorporating elements from Islamic, Christian, Hindu, and Buddhist traditions. It is a true masterpiece that showcases the beauty of different religions coming together under one roof. One of the highlights of my visit was exploring the different sections dedicated to each religion. Each area is beautifully adorned with religious symbols, statues, and artwork, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere. It was truly inspiring to see how these distinct religious traditions coexist harmoniously within the same space. The temple also houses a small museum, where visitors can learn more about the history and significance of each religion represented. The exhibits are informative and well-curated, providing a deeper understanding of the beliefs and practices of different faiths. It was a great opportunity to expand my knowledge and gain a greater appreciation for religious diversity. Another aspect that impressed me was the welcoming and inclusive nature of the temple. Regardless of one's own religious background, everyone is encouraged to visit and explore. The temple serves as a symbol of unity and respect for all religions, promoting dialogue and understanding among different communities. In addition to its cultural and religious significance, the Temple of All Religions is also a beautiful spot for photography enthusiasts. The vibrant colors, intricate details, and unique architecture make for stunning pictures that capture the essence of this extraordinary place. Overall, my visit to the Temple of All Religions in Kazan was an unforgettable experience. It is a place that celebrates diversity, promotes tolerance, and reminds us of the universal values that bind us all together. Whether you are religious or not, this temple is a must-visit destination that will leave you feeling inspired and enlightened.

The building's architecture is stunning and the history behind its construction is very inspiring (a man once got a message in his dream that he needed to build a place where every religion and beliefs could live together in peace. Nobody lent him money to build it so he worked hard all his life to build this set of "churches"). However since the fire in 2017 the place is an ongoing construction site. The paintings are in a mess, at some places there is no wall, etc.

My friend from Finland and I had a lot of fun in the museum. It is not big but if you are into USSR stuff - come here, a lot of things you can touch, try on or even play old board games. Of course would be nice to have someone to explain to you the meaning of this or that thing. It’s all about the details. The second museum of «happy childhood” was a bit less interesting to us.

There's simply no other place where so much authentic USSR things gathered together. That's just awesome, and lots of things I've seen or had in my childhood also, so nostalgic. Must see!!

Incredibly interesting interactive museum showcasing all the best from Soviet life and culture. Huge amount of engaging and enjoyable exhibits and items, which can all be touched and tried on. My personal favourite was trying on all the different Soviet army jackets and hats. The owner was friendly and made the visit fun and interesting, his passion for Soviet culture really came across. This museum is a must visit when in Kazan! Thank you! Tom Visiting from London

Very well collected, item from normal life during the Soviet years. Also everything concerning rocknroll during that period of time. Effortable

Great place to visit to remember what life was like in the USSR.

The museum was nice and interesting, can touch things and take photos with the clothes or other things. Low score for the price of the souvenirs. Firstly it’s not written anywhere, secondly we dropped by a second time on the second day to buy more pins, the coworker was different with the previous day and she charges for double price for the same thing.

Very interesting museum... they managed to collect so many things, even small ones. Well done! The entry is free, they have a shop inside where you can buy some souvenirs. You can touch things and look as much as you want. The staff in the museum was really nice.

Famous place. If you have a few hours, you should visit it. Entrace is free.

Obviously a must see place on any visit to Kazan. It remains a a historic citadel that was was built on the orders of Ivan the Terrible in the 16th century on the ruins of the former castle of the Kazan khans³. It is now a declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site which includes the Annunciation Cathedral, the Söyembikä Tower, Kul Sharif Mosque and the Governor's Palace. My research says it is a unique blend of Tatar and Russian cultures, reflecting the city's diverse history.

The Kazan Kremlin, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of Kazan, Russia. Its origins trace back to the 10th century when it served as the seat of the powerful Volga Bulgaria. Over the centuries, it underwent various architectural transformations, blending Tatar, Russian, and Islamic influences into its distinctive style. One of its most iconic landmarks is the striking Kul Sharif Mosque, which was reconstructed in the early 21st century and has since become a symbol of religious tolerance and coexistence. The mosque's elegant minarets and intricate interior design attract visitors from around the world. Within the Kremlin walls, visitors can explore a plethora of historical and cultural treasures, including the Annunciation Cathedral, the Presidential Palace, and the Soyembika Tower, which boasts a fascinating leaning appearance. The Kremlin's significance extends beyond its architectural beauty; it serves as a focal point for cultural events, festivals, and gatherings, highlighting the city's vibrant cultural scene. Moreover, it symbolizes the resilience and unity of Kazan's diverse population, embracing both its Tatar and Russian heritage. In conclusion, the Kazan Kremlin stands as a living testament to the enduring legacy of Kazan, blending history, culture, and spirituality into a captivating architectural masterpiece that continues to inspire and enchant visitors from around the globe.

Open 24/7, gorgeous at day, even more so at night. My girlfriend and I have been there for three times already, but it is still not enough for us. I would recommend everyone to go there. The mosque is a must-visit. It has also been great to visit one of the towers. The view is simply amazing there.

Amazing history here. Beautiful buildings tell a great story of multiple cultures. Make sure to tour the site and see the wonderful mosque and beautiful cathedral as well as all the other attractions. Highlight recommended. We went on the day of ther republic and the were a lot of people and activities.

Amazing place. The main attraction of Kazan, this place is a must visit. The place is very well preserved. The place looks beautiful during the day, and even more during the night, best time to visit would be somewhere between 4-5pm during summers. Beautiful place, highly recommend!

Overwhelming place, in some places it actually makes you feel like you're 800 years back in time. It has many interesting sights inside of the walls, and also some fascinating view to the city. It's a place where you can easily spend the whole day.
