We offer you to have a very interesting tour around Kazan – the city that is considered to be the 3rd capital of Russia. Kazan is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful Russian cities that celebrated 1000th year anniversary in 2005. It is absolutely different from other Russian cities because it's a place where you can see combination of different styles (oriental and Western) where different religions and nationalities coexist side by side in a peaceful way. Kazan has a unique "personality", its own flavour, spirit that makes it so interesting and so attractive for the guests.
