Every city has its unique appearance, its “flavor”. The flavor of Kazan is to combine in incredible ways and organically two sources of life. In this amazing city extreme antiquity and extreme modernity, Asia and Europe, Islam and Orthodoxy, the Russian and Tatar cultures merge together, giving birth to new, unexpected, interesting unity. With a population of about 1. 3 million (2011 census), rich history, deep culture and strong economic influence, Kazan hold the title of "The Third Capital of Russia" (after Moscow and Saint Petersburg), taking this title from the competing Nizhny Novgorod. By many measures, Kazan has the one of the highest standards of living in Russia, only after Moscow and St. Petersburg. Located between Europe and Asia, having both Russian and Tatar populations, Kazan peacefully blends Muslim and Christian cultures. There are also many other religions represented in Kazan.

This vibrant city with over 1000 years of history is an excellent travel destination, and tourism in Kazan is rapidly increasing every year.

Kazan is the best place to visit and if anyone wants to visit this city then June, July & august months can be very good months because in these days it is seen that the weather in Kazan is very good.

Much of the city center is walk able, and the main attractions for tourists (the Kremlin and Bauman Street) are closed to all but pedestrian traffic. Public buses are abundant and cheap, but one must have some knowledge of Russian to read the signs or ask where the buses are headed. Bus system maps are apparently hard to come by. Taxis are available and operate mostly an on-call service, rather than plying the streets for fares. They also congregate at a few taxi stands in predictable places such as the train station. A Metro system is being developed, with seven stations on the red line in operation as of early 2013, running between Koziya Sloboda and Prospekt Pobedy.
