Overview

Why visit Kazan

Kazan is one of Russia’s most fascinating cities, where Tatar and Russian cultures have lived side by side for centuries. The white-walled Kazan Kremlin, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, holds both the turquoise-domed Kul Sharif Mosque and the Annunciation Cathedral.

With its halal cuisine, relaxed pace and warm welcome, Kazan is a favourite with visitors from the Gulf — and easy to combine with Moscow by a short flight or train.

Best time to visit

May to September offers warm weather for walking the Kremlin and the Volga embankments. Winter is cold but beautiful, with fewer visitors.
