  • In this vlog, I travel by train to the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan, Russia - Kazan. I went there to explore Tatar culture - Islamic architecture (including Kul-Sharif), national cuisine (chak-chak and so on), theatres, art galleries... I found out how people of different religions (Muslim, Orthodox, etc.) live together in this city. It was also fascinating to learn about the ancient history of this place! Join me on this Kazan city tour :)

    ABOUT ME:
    Hi! My name is Elena. I’m currently living in Russia but I can’t imagine my life without travel. I visit off the beaten track destinations (in Russia and beyond) to explore different cultures and ways of living, connect to the wisdom of nature, and learn about myself. Let’s go on this adventure together ♥

    That was fantastic.
    What a gem of a City!
    The train ride brought memories of my trip across Canada from Vancouver to Toronto in the middle of winter.
    One of the great ways to travel and enjoy, too bad more people don't take the time.
    Thanks for the tour .

      Oh, sounds nice! Yes, time has become too valuable these days. But somehow trains in Russia are still never empty (this time I was lucky though to be the only one in the compartment)

    Thanks Elena for another great episode.
    In or rather near Kazan, Innopolis is a new city dedicated to IT technologies and computer science.
    I plan to spend some time there in the future to learn some Russian and work as a computer scientist.
    So I am very pleased that you are showing us Kazan.
    Тюбетей ( tubatay ) is definitely a great tip.

    Starting with the decoration on the train, everything looked very attractive. Admirable is the effort by the citizens to preserve their traditions, cultural events and, very notable, the sharing of everything they ARE. This is the soul of a people who have and know their identity. To all my very best wishes. Thank you much, Elena, for sharing this wonderful experience. Love to Tatarstan and the people who stand for these honorable values.

    Elena, I was captivated by the variety of beautiful architectural styles that define the city of Kazan. Visitors cannot help being impressed by the cleanliness and order of the streets, suggesting the people maintaining them really care.
    Your attendance at the Tatar Puppet Theatre can only be viewed as an excursion inside a fairytale.
    Overall, It would seem a weekend in Kazan is barely enough time to see all that the city has to offer.

    Also, I didn't realize there is more than one Kremlin. I thought the only one was in Moscow. 🤔

    Interesting, how when you visit a city the tickets are always sold-out. It seems demand is really high for such local preformances. I did like the local fast-food restaurant and I'm convinved it would also do well elsewhere. If Turkish, Chinese and Japanese fast food is selling well, why not such interesting Tartar food?

    • @elenastravels
      @elenastravels  Před rokem +2

    Great video again ... I would love to visit the splendid Kazan mixed architectures & cultures. Also great to travel by train in Russia (day&night), it might not be very comfortable but there is a positive atmosphere (things go slowly, we can take time to read & look at the nature). Coffee shops are nice, may be due to the fact that there are many students ?

      Сейчас поезда : душ,кондиционер,биотуалет,ресторан,интернет и чай/кофе в купе в любое время суток,а если попадут ещё и интересные соседи (как правило так и бывает) то путешествие на поезде 6 дней из Москвы в Владивосток не покажутся вам не интересными и тем более не комфортными при нынешнем оснащении вагонов.
