Kazan Kremlin

The historic fortress dating back to the 16th to 19th centuries.

Reviewed By 30vladimirr - Moscow, Russia

Kazan Kremlin, an amazing historical place, on the banks of the Volga River. the walls and towers of the Kremlin are very well preserved. The Kremlin itself in architecture is very similar to the Pskov Kremlin. Also white towers and walls, also round towers. I liked the building very much. It was in winter, a cold wind was blowing from the river, it was -23 Celsius, snow was falling, so we moved from museum to museum. On the territory of the Kremlin, there is a museum of the history of this break off and the emergence of the Kazan Khanate in the beginning, and so on. I recommend to visit those who are fond of history, like me).

This may be a new mosque compared to others around the world but it's still beautiful. Took photos day and night. The interior is also impressive and its good to spend some quiet time in there when prayers are beung held. One of the symbols of kazan .

Samara Embankment

Reviewed By 581sergeyk - Katy, United States

I visited Samara in June 2019. Samara Embankment is a nice place to walk. There are two-three very wide walkways going in parallel. A lot of small cafes and fast food booths, bike and scooter rentals are along the walkways. You can see a lost of street artists along the Embankment. Violins, guitars, drums, saxophones etc... ot from ti,e to time even orchestras! On the Volga beach right next to the Embankment you can see many volleyball courts, tennis courts and other sport sites.

Park Complex of Equipment History Named After K.G. Sakharov

Reviewed By sabin_malisevschi - Bucharest, Romania

Along many airplanes, tanks, missiles, guns and other military equipment you can see here one of the biggest diesel-electric submarine in the world, B-307. To find such a steel monster sleeping in this big complex was a really nice thing to see. Not so many people get the chance to see a live military submarine, especially on ground. Submarine B-307, Tango class, 91m long and 2000t weight is one of the biggest diesel engine submarines ever built found is rest in Sakharov Technical Museum after a one year and half trip on ground. Very interesting the story about how this huge submarine after a 2246km long trip on water from Kronstadt, near Sank Petersburg found its place in Sakharov Technical Museum in Togliatti. From Togliatti docks up to actual location i took about one year and a half for moving the steel beast without dissembling it, special road it was made by local authorities for this special operation. The submarine can be visited also inside but only with a guide and only at certain times...you can check the schedule before paying a visit. This time i didn't had got the chance to visit inside but next time i will go just for this visit. Also you can see live tanks like T-34, T-55, T-80, IS-3, ISU-152, Katyusha Rocket Launcher and many more. Planes like: MIG-31, MIG-29, Sukhoi SU-24, TU-16 , YAK-27P and many more. Helicopters: MiL-26, MiL-24, MiL-6 and many more. If you visit Togliatti and you have a passion for technology and army this is a must see place!
