You simply can't visit Kazan without seeing the Kremlin. It stands proudly on a hill, a place wrapped in legend as the former home of the mythical Zilant dragon, said to have protected an underground kingdom. Today, the Kremlin sprawls over 150,000 square meters and is home to the President of the Republic's residence, several government buildings, and the fascinating "Kazan Kremlin" Reserve Museum. Back in 2000, UNESCO recognized this architectural and historical gem as a World Cultural and Natural Heritage site.
Wandering through the Kremlin, you'll find yourself surrounded by a blend of Russian and Tatar architectural styles, a testament to the city's rich history. The site offers stunning views of the Kazanka and Volga rivers, making it a perfect spot for breathtaking photos. If you time your visit right, you might catch a cultural performance or festival, adding an extra layer of magic to your experience.
