Travel to Kazan

Landing in Kazan soon? Here's what to know before you go.

From currency and getting around to majestic white-stone fortresses, towering turquoise minarets, legendary dragon folklore, and a beautiful fusion of Slavic and Turkic cultures, we've got the essentials covered for your trip to the Third Capital of Russia.

Language & Currency

Official languages Tatar & Russian Both languages are used equally. Most signs are bilingual. English is spoken in major hotels, upscale restaurants, and by younger locals, but an offline translation app is highly recommended
Payments Russian Ruble (RUB) Due to international sanctions, foreign Visa and Mastercard cards do not work. You must bring cash (USD or EUR) to exchange locally, or use a Russian-issued Mir card

Getting Around

Also popular Buses, Trams & Walking The city's red municipal buses cover every corner of Kazan. The historic center, especially the pedestrian Bauman Street and the Kremlin grounds, is best explored on foot

Kul Sharif Mosque Located inside the Kremlin, this breathtaking structure with elegant turquoise domes stands as one of the largest and most spectacular mosques in Russia
