Not in vain Kazan received the status of one of the gastronomic capitals of Russia - in the top 10 of the best restaurants in Tatarstan 2020, awarded the National Restaurant Prize Wheretoeat, all establishments from Kazan! We love to accept friends from all over the world and develop the sphere of hospitality. Open new hotels, restaurants, beauty locations. The city is beautiful at any time of the year, but it is better to come here to the Spring-Summer season (the end of May-June), when the weather allows you to comfortably walk and dine on the terraces, which are more and more in Kazan. Plus, you can relax on the yacht or sailboat in the Volga water area with the beginning of the navigation. Take a note when you arrive in Kazan again! "
