Welcome to Kazan, a city that has existed for over one thousand years.

It’s the 6th largest city in Russia and a ninety-minute flight from Moscow. It’s also a short drive from one of the country’s newest silicon valleys.
Here’s a peek at a very short day trip we took to Kazan last fall…



















If you were visiting Russia, would you take a day trip to Kazan or would you pick a different city? Let me know in the comments!

Lovely photos. If I travelled to RU, my town would be Yekaterinburg, to visit the new Cathedral on the Blood, built over the ground where the Romanovs were martyred, and to visit Ganina Yama, where they were first buried and where today a monastery stands surrounding the grave of the royal family.

Hi Abramo! That sounds like a wonderful travel plan 🙂 🙂 🙂 We visited Yekaterinburg the day before Kazan and saw the incredible and somber Cathedral on the Blood. I didn’t realize Ganina Yama was open to visitors – would be really interesting to go there and view the monastery.
