Like Moscow - not Moscow without Arbat, and Kiev - not Kiev without Khreshchatyk, and Kazan can not be imagined without the Bauman street. This ancient street of the historical center of the city is the same age as the Kazan Kremlin, a cult place with a lot of sights, where the formula of "bread and circuses" is successfully realized, because numerous shops, cafes, restaurants and hotels adjoin here with temples, monasteries and monuments. Shalyapin Palace Hotel, located in the street Bauman, can simultaneously see the window bell tower of the Epiphany Cathedral marvelous red-brick monument to the legendary Russian bass - Feodor Chaliapin, souvenir la ki and facades of boutiques in the historic buildings of the 19th century.

History

In the times of the Kazan Khanate there was the Nogai road. Then the street was named Prolomna, because in the place of the modern Church of the Epiphany the walls were broken through the storming of Kazan by Ivan the Terrible in 1552. The current name of the Bauman street was born in 1930, in honor of the revolutionary Nikolai Bauman, a native of Kazan. Prior to 1986, Bauman street was transported, but now it is pedestrian.

Natalia
was here in October 2014
You can walk around it endlessly - from the famous clock to the Kremlin and back. The mass of souvenir shops with the Tatar-grandparents mannequins, cafes and restaurants for every taste and color, sculpture, museums, some mirror mazes and even God knows what. In a word, it's a great place to spend a couple of hours, to have dinner, to luxuriate, and, of course, to enjoy the old city of Kazan - traditional baroque mansions, etc. cultural delights here are abundant.

Children will enjoy the café Fairytale, there is a large game room and ice cream. But it's better to look for a truly delicious restaurant on parallel streets-alleys, Bauman mostly took a fast food restaurant and all sorts of "coffee to go", so for a two-hour-long dinner from national cuisine, take a turn in the alley. You will not regret.
