Where to stay in Kazan — pick the right hotel, book in 3 clicks
Kazan is the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan, on the banks of the Volga River, nicknamed the 'third capital of Russia'. Its highlight is the way Russian Orthodox and Tatar-Muslim cultures live side by side in harmony: within the World Heritage Kazan Kremlin, the blue-and-white Kul Sharif Mosque stands next to an Orthodox cathedral. The city also has the lively Bauman pedestrian street, the leaning Söyembikä Tower, and the curious Temple of All Religions. It's easy to get around and friendly to visitors.
