A faire absolument
Visite efficace. Principaux points d'intérêts présentés par le guide. Le chauffeur de bus, efficace, nous a emmenait au plus près des chutes pour profiter pleinement du spectacle. Ponctualité de l'équipe. Pauses prévues pour les toilettes.....parfait !! Un peu d'animation pour finir notre sortie car le bus ( le bébé du chauffeur ) est tombé en panne. Mais le chauffeur a géré d'une main de maître cet imprévu. Un autre car est arrivé ! Une heure de retard mais rien de grave...nous sommes en week-end !! Merci Jacques et votre chauffeur.
Voyage merveilleusement organisé. Le voyage, l'équipe, franchement, j'ai beaucoup aimé la ville Beaucoup monument
J'ai beaucoup apprécié ce voyage avec l'agence Wonder Travel , tout était bien géré grâce à notre guide Jaques et au chauffeur
Il y a une taxe à payer en plus du voyage. On vous oblige un peu à prendre le Câble Car alors que si vous etes sportif.ve vous pouvez monter directement en max1h30. Malheureusement j’ai pris le ticket et le temps ne m’a pas permis de voire grand chose, d’en bas c’était mieux. Il y’a du temps pour faire des activités mais j’aurais aimé plus d’informations lors de la visite avec Léna.
Visite intéressante de la Chute de Montmorency et de la ville de Québec. Juste surprise qu'il n'y avait pas de guide en français comme indiqué sur le site mais Steve était un super chauffeur.
Nous sommes très déçus par ce sejour Trop d’heures de car , pour des visites trop courtes et mal ciblées à chaque fois La ballade en bateau à 1000 îles était agréable Par contre , le passage à Toronto de 2h30 seulement n’a servi à rien selon moi Juste 2h30 pour visiter une ville comme Toronto Visite d’un aquarium et vue panoramique, c’est tout .. Si cela nous intéressait pas , il n’y avait nulle part où aller ailleurs car peu de temps devant nous .. Premier déjeuner à Kingston , dans une zone industrielle, au lieu de nous montrer la ville , dans un restaurant chinois ( et ils nomment ça , buffet international) Si on aime pas la cuisine Chinoise , on mange pas , car rien autour .. Puis Niagara , dans un hôtel de basse catégorie vue sur 1 parking , ( mais bien placé) prix du petit dej médiocre 44 dollars pour 2 pers Niagara , c’est magnifique.. Heureusement qu’il y a eu ça pour relever le niveau du séjour ..( 1 soirée et 1 matinée ) Puis retour à Toronto , juste pour déjeuner encore dans 1 restaurant chinois dans 1 zone industrielle, ( si tu aimes pas , y’a rien autour , tu manges pas ..) Puis 7 h de route pour retourner à Montréal Prévoyez 250 dollars par personne pour manger les midis et faire leurs excursions que vous devez leur payer en espèces Et 20 dollars par personne de pourboire au chauffeur et au guide ( qui est juste 1 accompagnatrice en fait), très peu de choses sont expliquées pendant le séjour Conclusion : vaut mieux se rendre directement à Toronto par nos propres moyens Visiter Toronto à notre convenance Puis aller à Niagara ( 1h 30 de route ) Et faire les visites soit même Moins cher au final avec le choix de l’hôtel , des restaurants , et du temps passé à chaque endroit Je ne recommande pas du tout cette excursion

My parents use this agency all the time, and they are usually able to secure flights for cheaper than online booking agencies. I highly, highly recommend this agency for future bookings. Ask for Grace.
I consider myself an experienced and savvy domestic and international traveler who oftentimes books complicated tickets in order to get the best deal, upgrade opportunity, specific routings, etc. I am very familiar with fare rules, fare classes, availability buckets, etc. I am happy to report that I had a very pleasant experience using Wonder Travel to book a complicated multi-city itinerary to Asia on EVA Air. I was looking to book in a specific fare class (so that I could upgrade using United miles) and that option was not available on EVA's website or on other online services like Expedia or Orbitz. (Side note: an agent at Expedia had never even heard of fare classes! I was shocked!) I would normally much rather book a ticket online, if I can, to avoid booking fees and dealing with actual people who may screw up the ticket. I usually avoid using travel agents. I have never posted a review on Yelp before and felt the need to do so in this case because the agent at Wonder Travel was THE BEST! First of all, his English was excellent (Asian-American - perfect English), so that was not an issue at all. The agent was extremely helpful and was able to price out my itinerary (4 legs) in the fare class I wanted in about 10 minutes. Ticketing was complete 5 minutes later. I cannot say enough about how pleased I was with booking through Wonder Travel. Highly recommended. A++++
Perhaps this place specializes in international flights instead of domestic flights. My mother used this agency to book a SJC to Ontario flight. The departure time did not match her expected flight time in the confirmation e-mail: She initially thought she booked a 5 pm flight but the confirmation email stated it was a 5 am departure time. She called the agency to verify the time and the agency confirmed the e-mail was correct and insisted that there is only one flight out of SJC to Ontario each day and it is at 5 am. We went to the airport at 4 am to catch this flight that the agency claimed to exist and repeatedly confirmed but once we got to the airport we found out there was no such flight. There was no flight until 5 pm! This was a terrible blunder that could have been avoided. The travel agents provided sloppy customer service and completely inaccurate travel information. Avoid this agency!!
Great service! We always go to Grace for our tickets and visa. She is super friendly and very helpful. Would definitely recommend this place for good international tickets.
Grace told me the wrong prices over the phone so I decided not to goat the last minute.
In the year 2013 where Internet and e-commerce rules, I still purchase air ticket for long flight via travel agent. I don't think I save any money but sometimes, I have complex requirements that I need the agent to help. I have used Wonder Travel twice and very happy with the service. You can split payment using different CC which you cannot do online. Happy campers :-)
Good experience with agent James. He answered all my inquiries as I had many hesitations in booking. He was quick to respond and very knowledgeable about my travel plans.
Love this place when I need tickets to Asia, grace is very knowledgable, nice and efficient

Visiting Kazan, the capital of Tatarstan in Russia
Kazan is the capital of Tatarstan and the 6th largest city of Russia . It officially bears the title of the “Third Capital of Russia” due to its rich cultural and historical heritage. It also serves as the Capital of Tatarstan. Furthermore, this beautiful city is on the banks of the Volga River and Kazanka River. It is noted for its centuries-old religious tolerance. So, the Cathedral of all Religions is a true example of its religious harmony. Nearly half of its residents are ethnic Tatars. So a visit allows you to experience the unique foods and traditions of Tatar culture.
How to Get To Kazan Russia
Kazan is located about 800 km east of Moscow and easily accessible by train. Although, we reached there from Novosibirsk and after visiting it went to Moscow. While Vosstanie-Passazhirskaya is the name of the train station that mainly serves Kazan city. Whereas you can book your train ticket from the Russian Railway Website .
Kazan has one international airport that operates several domestic as well as a few international flights. The airport is about 25km from the city center. Further, you can reach the city center by bus, Train or Taxi.
To go to Kazan in your own car is another way. From Moscow, you can follow the M7 route to reach Kazan in around 12 hours. Whereas from Perm, you can follow the E22 route to reach Kazan.
How to Get Around Kazan Russia
The transportation system of Kazan city composes of trains, buses, trolleybuses, and taxis. The fare of one ride is 25 Rubles.
- Most of the attractions of Kazan city can be visited on foot. Especially you can visit the most of city attreactions at the area from Kazan Kremlin to Millenium Park via Bauman street .
- Kazan subway is a more convenient way to getaround the city of Kazan into Russia. It is listed among Guinness World Records as the shortest metro system in the world. Kazan Subway has 5 stations and one can get from one end to another for 10 minutes.
- Lat but not the least, Taxis in Kazan are also affordable. Therefore, you can call a taxi by using Yandex Taxi App.
Where to Stay in KAzan Russia
You can book a dormitory bed in the city center Hostel for under $10. You can find a good hostel from a large number of hostels around Bauman Street. I have booked with People Hostel for my short stay in Kazan. Besides, it was very near to Kazan Kremlin.
Initially, we had a plan to visit Kazan as a day trip while going from Novosibirsk to Moscow on our long Trans Siberian Train Route. However, due to a change in our plan, we have to cancel our next ride to Moscow and consequently opt for air travel from Kazan. So, we decided to take a little rest while our stay in Kazan.
Places to see in KAzan Russia
I regretted that I have only one day for this fairytale city. Due to some unforeseen reasons, I have to shorter my original plan. So, I have left Kazan City in such a way that seems I never came to this city. This city has abundant sights with a rich historical background that it can offer to its tourists. I spent my day while walking from one point to another. So, I decided to start my day at Kazan Kremlin.
Kazan Kremlin
I left my luggage at my hostel and came out for my day’s tour to Kazan City. I followed the Bulak Cannel and took my way toward Kazan Kremlin. After a few minute’s walk, I passed beside the Pyramid Cheops hotel(Piramida Kheopsa). It was a beautiful Hotel with Egyptian themes. Finally, I crossed Levo Buachava Street and entered Kremlin Park. If you go slightly further toward Kazanka River then you can reach Kazan Circus.
Entrance to Kazan Kremlin
The entrance to Kremlin park is exotic. You can enter the park after passing through a three-step Heart lane. Here you can get a beautiful photo of the Kul Sharif Mosque from a unique angle. Here a large row of steps leads me to the Gigantic wall of the Kazan Kremlin. Now Starting from Preobrazhenskaya Tower, I passed to another unnamed tower and finally reached Taynitskaya tower. Not to mention there were a couple of Viewing platforms to watch the left side Panorama views of the city. Taynitskaya is one of the two entry points to Kazan Kremlin. Also, the Spasskaya Tower on the Southern side is the other point of entrance.
Entry Fee to Kazan Kremlin
Entry to Kazan Kremlin is free. However, you have to take an entrance ticket to one of the many inside museums. The ticket range is 150 to 300 Rubles for different Museums. However, you can take a day ticket for 700 Rubles and enjoy your day while visiting these museums. The list of inside museums is quite high. Although, some of them include
- History Museum of the state of Tatarstan
- Museum of The courtyard of the CAnyons
- Hermitage Kazan Center And Museum of Natural History of Tatarstan
- Manzeh Exhibition Hall
- Museum of Islamic Culture in Kul Sharif Mosque
- Histry Museum of Annunciation Cathedral
Kazan Kremlin from my Eyes
When I entered the Kremlin the first look of the Uphigh view was splendid. I was the three different shapes of building in my first view. That was Suvumbike Tower like a conical one, The palace Church resembles with a layer of rectangles and Presidency Palace. All these points were on my left side. On my right side were the Museum of the courtyard of canyons and Kazan Hermitage compounds.
Just after this view, the Cathedral of Annunciation popped up from the left and the Kul Sharif mosque from my right. These two buildings that were popping up from two different sides made a spellbound effect on me. The color combination and architecture were just fantastic. After then I went through the small garden that has the attraction of Monument to Kazan Kremlin Builders.
After visiting the Kremlin, I spent a little time on the eastern observation deck. From this deck, you can spot a large number of Kazan attractions beyond the Kazanka River. At the far end, you can spot the Kazan Arena, Farmers’ palace, Kazan Cathedral, and a few more.
Farmers’ Palace and Park
After spending a couple of Quality time, I head forward to Farmers’ Palace. I came out from Voskresenskaya tower which is at the east/North end of Kazan Kremlin. I have to come back along the outward of Kremlin. Here I have crossed the road and entered into the Farmers’ Palace and Park.
This Palace is a building that serves as the Ministry of agriculture and the food Republic of Tatarstan Russia. Although it is state-building even then It is a must-see place in Kazan. You can definitely admire the entrance that reflects the objective of the building and office. After its construction in 2008, this building has quickly become one of the city’s most famous modern landmarks.
Cathedrals of Kazan City
Now I took the Southern route and my next stop was a couple of Blue and White cathedrals. The first one was the Church of the Great Martyr that was just beside the Farmers’ palace. You have to take a left turn while going back to Kazan Kremlin Road. It is a stone church that is related to Saint Paraskeva. It is an old church that was restored and partly rebuilt in 1904.
The second one The Kazan Cathedral was even more majestic. It is as beautiful but less rated than the Kazan Cathedral of St Petersburg.
Chernoye Ozero, The Black LAke
Here I took a route to Bauman Street. On the way, I made a small detour and reached Chernoye Ozero. Chernoye means black and Ozero means lake. So, this small artificial lake is called Black Lake. There is a garden in the eastern part of this park. Its main entrance is known as the famous and romantic “lovers arch”. The park often hosts festivals and concerts here. It is also commonplace for locals to walk on the outer jogging path. You can also sit on one of the benches and read a book or just relax.
Peter and Paul Cathedral Kazan
This golden yellow cathedral painted with turquoise mosaics was a true gem in the heart of the city. We have also visited a cathedral with the same name in St Petersburg beside the Neva River. Although, its counterpart in St Petersburg is a part of the fortress. However, this one is an active prayer place and its bright colors are a feast for our eyes. Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral is a Russian Orthodox church that was built in 1722. It was partly reconstructed in 1824-1825. While a more large-scale reconstruction took place in 1888-1890. As it was very near to Bauman Street that was my next and last stop, so, I couldn’t visit it from inside.
BAuman Street KAzan
The main pedestrian street of Kazan starts From the Kremlin and ends at the “Ploshchad Tukaya. It is a pleasant walk of about 2km. . As Kazan’s busiest pedestrian street where you’ll find the highest concentration of restaurants, cafes, monuments, and souvenir shops in the city. After visiting Peter and Paul Cathedral, I came to this historical street. You can see many fun performers in the afternoon till night. Many other prominent sub streets also make their way from BaumanStreet. One of which, the Musa Jalil street is also a famous one among foreigners. It is the best place for lodging in Kazan too. After visiting this street, I decided to go to my Hostel.
What we missed in Kazan Russia
The first and foremost thing is that we believe we missed the whole of Kazan. This city is not for one-dayers. At least it needs three days that include a full day of Kazan Kremlin. It was a shame if we couldn’t visit the Cathedral of all religions. Besides a full day to visit Sviyazhsk is also recommended. Sviyazhsk is a beautiful island about 65km from the city center and one can reach it in one hour. Last but not the least, the Museum of Socialist life is another top attraction to see Kazan History.

Why You Should Add Kazan, Tatarstan to Your Trip to Russia
June 1, 2018 by Bino Leave a Comment
Ironically enough, the city that excited me the most during my trip to Russia was neither St. Petersburg nor Moscow. Sure, I was really looking forward to seeing St. Basil’s Cathedral in Red Square with my own eyes and to wander around the exhibits in the Hermitage but there was something about the Tatars, a Turkic people that call parts of Russia home, that really piqued my interest.
Compared to the Orthodox Christian majority that define most of Russia, Tatarstan (a republic within the Russian Federation) has a Muslim majority. The result is a hodgepodge of cultures. You have Russian with a distinct Turkic blend and this is manifested in the bilingual signs and varied cuisine in Kazan, its capital.
As it is a bit out of the way relative to the typical Russian itinerary , most people don’t visit Tatarstan at all. But if you have a couple of extra days to spare, I wholeheartedly recommend taking the 1.5 hour or so flight to Kazan for a slice of Russia that you definitely don’t see in Moscow or St. Petersburg. Without further ado, here are the top things you can do in Kazan.
Table of Contents
Kazan Kremlin
kazan kremlin
One of the more interesting kremlins that you’ll find in Russia is the one in Kazan. The diversity of religions is nowhere more apparent here where you can find an Orthodox church sitting within the same complex as a mosque. Don’t miss a visit to the striking Kul-Sharif Mosque which I would personally count as one of the most beautiful mosques I’ve ever seen both inside and out. If you come to the Kremlin in the day, you can also walk through the walls for a fee and obtain a higher view of the complex through the observation towers.
On the opposite side of the Kremlin, you will also find the Annunciation Cathedral and the leaning Suyumbike Tower which together form a fine ensemble of richly decorated buildings. If you walk out towards the bridge (Ulitsa Dekabristov), you can appreciate the fine views of the Kremlin. Better yet, hop on the ferris wheel from the Kyrlay Theme Park on the northern side of town to snap photos of the Kremlin from a high point.
Agricultural Palace
agricultural palace kazan
Don’t be misled by the name, the Agricultural Palace is a government building so it’s not really open to the public. It is listed here due to its highly instagrammable nature. You’ll find the curved angles of the building highly picturesque. A popular spot to take photos is from the small hill beside the palace itself.
National Museum of the Republic of Tatarstan
national museum of the republic of tatarstan
Situated just outside the Kazan Kremlin, the National Museum of the Republic of Tatarstan is housed in a grand 18th century European style building. Inside, you’ll find Tatar arts and craft including fine jewellry and weapons used by the Tatar people.
St. Peter and Paul Cathedral
st. peter and paul cathedral kazan
Despite the many churches you’ll find scattered throughout Russia, a visit to the beautiful St. Peter and Paul Cathedral is highly recommended for its Naryshkin-style Baroque decor. Look closely at the windows of this 17th century church and you’ll find these decorated in unique floral patterns.
Bauman Street
bell tower in bauman street
Bauman Street is Kazan’s main shopping street and is busy in the day and floodlit at night. There is a good mix of shops and restaurants here. Despite being the tourist center of the city, the pedestrian-only street is refreshingly devoid of the tour groups that you encounter in Moscow or St. Petersburg. Towards the end, you will encounter the Epiphany Cathedral’s Bell Tower , a 74 meter high structure that you can climb for views.
Old Tatar Village
architecture in the old tatar village
One of the more charming areas in the city marks the spot where ethnic Tatars were forced to stay following the siege of Kazan in 1552. There are not a lot of old buildings left here but the ones that remain date from the 17th or 18th centuries and highly instagrammable with distinctive colorful patterns. The most prominent structures in the area are the Mardzhani Mosque and the Apanaev Mosque one block away. If you walk towards the side of the lake, you’ll encounter this kitschy restaurant serving Tatar cuisine – Tatarskaya Usadba . My favorites are the nourishing soups and stews that go well especially during cold days. If you are feeling adventurous, you can also try the horse meat which is cooked in a variety of ways.
Getting Here: Ulitsa Kayuma Nasyri is where the bulk of the older buildings are situated.
Temple of All Religions
temple of all religions
I visited the Temple of All Religions a month after it was razed by fire. Although the exterior is mostly intact, the inside was heavily damaged. There is no admission to enter although a gatekeeper asks for donations. The highlight of the place is its numerous and colorful towers, each dedicated to a different religion. Do note that the temple is a bit out of the way. I took an UBER here and I had some difficulty getting a ride back to town. Alternatively, you can take Bus #2 from the city center.
Where to Eat in Kazan
salmon tartare

Kazan, Russia
You are here, about kazan.
As the capital city of the Republic of Tatarstan, Kazan is a glorious city that represents Russia's Tsarist past. With complex palaces, towering churches, and a thriving cultural scene, Kazan is a pure Russian city with incredible beauty and heart.
Main Attractions in Kazan
As the "Third Capital of Russia," there is plenty to see and to do while staying in Kazan. Visitors can enjoy long walks down the streets of the city, as each of them offers a new arrangement of colors and historic buildings. Kazan is also one of the largest economic, political, scientific and cultural centers of the country.
Kazan Kremlin
One of the main attractions is the Kazan Kremlin. Built by Ivan the Terrible on the ruins of the palace of the Kazan Khanate that he destroyed, this white fortress is a beautiful sight in any season. The Kremlin of Kazan reflects not only the ethnic mix of Tatars and Russians that make up this important region of the Russian Federation, but also the combined strength of the region's two great religions: Islam and Orthodox Christianity.
Kul Sharif Mosque
The magnificent Kul Sharif Mosque , named for Kazan's last great Imam before Ivan the Terrible invaded and seized the city, is the Kremlin's main jewel. It is the largest Muslim place of worship in Europe, and serves as home to a rich collection of ancient books.
Annunciation Cathedral
As an equally important place of Orthodox worship, the Annunciation Cathedral within Kazan’s Kremlin is an architectural gem completed in 1561, 9 years after the city was conquered. The cathedral is said to have been designed by Postnik Yakovlev, the same architect who was said to be blinded after completing St. Basil’s Cathedral on Moscow’s Red Square.
Temple of All Religions
Today's Kazan appears to be equally strongly tied with its unique mixture of religious beliefs. Philanthropist Ildar Khanov began work on his Temple of All Religions in 1992 near the shores of the Volga River, and this unique building is still under construction. The Temple makes use of religious architecture from all over the world, and has an Orthodox church dome, a minaret, synagogue-like fixtures, and other items representing 16 of the world's many faiths.
In 2005 Kazan celebrated its millennium jubilee. Despite such venerable age, the city is growing and dynamically developing in all respects.
A prevailing feature of life in the city is peaceful, creative coexistence of different religions and nationalities. Due to its gorgeous architecture, breathtaking scenery, and welcoming locals, Kazan is the perfect destination for travelers of all ages. So if you've already decided to add Kazan to your bucket list, browse our collection of Russia tours below and choose your ideal Kazan itinerary!

Kazan is the capital of Tatarstan and the 6th largest city of Russia. It officially bears the title of the "Third Capital of Russia" due to its rich cultural and historical heritage. It also serves as the Capital of Tatarstan. Furthermore, this beautiful city is on the banks of the Volga River and Kazanka River.
Compared to the Orthodox Christian majority that define most of Russia, Tatarstan (a republic within the Russian Federation) has a Muslim majority. The result is a hodgepodge of cultures. You have Russian with a distinct Turkic blend and this is manifested in the bilingual signs and varied cuisine in Kazan, its capital.
