The Kazan Kremlin contains both an Orthodox cathedral and a mosque within the same fortress walls — walk between the Kul Sharif Mosque and the Annunciation Cathedral to understand the city's dual soul. Bauman Street (the pedestrian 'Kazan Arbat') is best at evening when locals promenade and street performers fill the space.
Tip 18–20% at restaurants. Walk fast on sidewalks — stay right, pass left.
