Dasha's s recce to Kazan

"It was always my dream to visit Kazan, the capital of Tatar Republic - many stories about the "city of several religions" captivated my my imagination. Finally I visited Kazan and was immensily impressed by its beauty, developed infrastructure and especially so mild and so soft climate! Upon arriving to the city we were taken to one of the 5* hotels located in the very heart of the city just opposite the Kazan Kremlin. First impression of the city was great - blue cloudless sky, amazingly white snow, the sun shining and the towers of famous and major city mosque Kul Sharif are just in front of you!

Entering the Kremlin - the word commonly used to indicate the central part of so many Russian cities - I experienced another feeling of excitement and exaltation seeing the Kremlin so different from what we got used to see.

Within walking distance from one another are Governmental residence, Muslim mosque, Orthodox Church and architectural monument - leaning tower Suumbike from which, the legend says, princess Suumbike steeped off unwilling to become the wife of Russian Tzar Ivan IV... It seemed - and really turned out to be so - that ancient and modern, Eastern and Western worlds meet here. "
