From my book you will learn what travelers advised a foreigner to pay attention to in Kazan, and also compare the information of the past with the present. In addition, I added my own experience to the opinion of the authorities. Today there are 759 historical monuments in the city. In this book I will show 99 of my photographs of the sights and sports arenas of Kazan, and talk about the city. I have put together the experiences of some famous tourists who have already visited the land of the future Universiade. This is what the Frenchman Alexandre Dumas testified to following the results of his walks around Kazan in 1858: “... I don’t know a journey that is easier, more convenient and pleasant than a trip around Russia. Attentions of all kinds, offers of all kinds are crowding the way, and everything is available. ...Actually, monetary details are not insignificant for travelers, especially for artists. From the moment this is known, travel in Russia is one of the least expensive I know of. On my Russian journey, that is, on a tour of four thousand leagues, I spent in the 10 months that it lasted a little more than 12 thousand francs, including about three thousand francs for purchases.” In the book I honestly spoke about the merits of Kazan and cited it Problems. Now you can make an informed decision about your trip to the capital of the Universiade 2013.
