Казань — город, где мечеть и собор стоят рядом. Очень красиво.
Улица Баумана — казанский Арбат, вечером очень атмосферно.
Храм всех религий странный, но интересный.
Казанский кремль и мечеть Кул-Шариф ночью — невероятно красиво.
Свияжск — остров-град, стоит поехать на целый день.
Обязательно попробуйте эчпочмак и чак-чак 😋
Казань — одна из самых красивых и чистых городов России.
