Bauman
Street
The old Bauman Street is the main pedestrian thoroughfare
in Kazan. It is the city's tourist quarter, complete with
restaurants, fountains, street sculptures, small trades and
souvenir shops. You can listen to street musicians, get
yourself a portrait, have an ice-cream in summer and a hot
broth with local specialty "echpochmak" pies in winter.
Theatre and dance performances are common, street
musicians and artists are a permanent fixture. Day and
night the Bauman Street is full of people, sounds and
colours.
"Kazan"
Wedding Palace
Family is very important for Tatarstan people. The bond between generations is
strong, in every family there is a "babushka" (Russian) or "davanika" (Tatar) granny,
holding keys to life wisdom. Many families nowadays in Tatarstan take their
official beginning at the Kazan Wedding Palace, the civic marriage registration
centre. Built as a giant chalice, the palace takes its shape from the traditional
Tatar cooking pot "kazan". It embodies the traditional saying that "Home is a bowl
full of joy".
