Gift Shop " Orphan of Kazan ". There is a theory that the phraseologist " orphan of Kazan " went from the time of Ivan the Terrible, when the Tatar khans declared to bow to the king in tattered clothes, in the hope of royal mercy.

The pedestrian street of Bauman seems to be landscaped, there are lights, but they are shallow and the street is actually dark. A huge plus is that on the street the sea of cafes / is eaten - there was no problem where to eat.

Hotel "Kazan monastery" (1843 - 1848 years of construction), the building was recently in a ruined state. Well done that restored!

It was a pity there was very little time for Kazan, but I liked the city very much, just like Samara is the best cities in the country! In Kazan, besides an interesting olden time in huge quantities, the infrastructure is in excellent condition and the public transport is the newest. With buses / trolleybuses / trams around Russian cities , where as, it happens that rarities travel along routes.
