I live and study in Kazan city, the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan. It’s my native city as I was born here. Kazan is located on the left bank of the Volga river and it was founded more than one thousand years ago. So it is a very old place, with rich and fascinating history. The population of my city is multinational and enormous: about one and a half million people. Kazan has changed greatly from the moment when I was born and it has grown much bigger, but still it keeps its own traditions and some strict religious rules. The people of my city are friendly and hospitable, polite and intelligent to my mind.

The capital of Tatarstan is a city of contrasts: there are quarters of modern high-rise buildings and districts with old historical places; some districts are awfully noisy and crowded, with long traffic jams, the others are very clean and quiet. Our transport system is really busy: we have a railway station, a big river port, an airport, buses, trolleybuses, trams and trains of the Kazan metro which was opened in 2005.

There are plenty of impressive sights for our guests in the historical center of the city: the Kremlin of the 10th century, the Millennium bridge, the Kul-Sharif mosque and other beautiful cathedrals and mosques. Kazan has unique museums, able to suit any taste: the Fine Arts museum, the museum of Leo Tolstoy, the National museum of Tatarstan, the museum of Zoology.

My native city is a recognized sports capital of Russia. It has hosted many important sports events. The International Summer Universiade of 2013 was among them. And in 2018 our city is going to host the FIFA World Cup.

I feel proud of my birthplace and I am sure that Kazan is the place which is worth visiting at least once in our life. I know that many tourists from abroad come here and they feel enraptured with the local sights.

It’s great to walk along empty streets without knowing the way, to feel a strange, unknown city, and to see a strange, incomprehensible life. What city is your favorite?

Essay on My city

“To awaken alone in a strange town is one of the pleasantest sensations in the world.” - Freya Stark

Hey folks! Ten years ago I discovered my new obsession - travelling. I think it is fun and has a lot of benefits. I’ve visited different places, countries and cities and today I want to share my opinion about my favorite city, St. Petersburg.

Before the October Revolution, St. Petersburg "Window on Europe" was the capital of Russia and one of the world's cosmopolitan cities. Great number of foreign experts were employed to bring knowledge and expertise in the arts, crafts and sciences that boosted capital to be the one of famous cities in the world.

The city is cultural center of the country. It’s a place of grandiose architecture and picturesque canals. Wandering around the city you’ll find world-famous attractions like the Hermitage, St. Isaac's Cathedral and the Mariinsky Theatre. Every traveler can feel the rich atmosphere of this beautiful place.

If you want to have a tour around the city I recommend to use public transport network which is efficient and extensive, though a little bit crowded. The metro is without a doubt the best type of transport for visitors and covers nearly all of the city, with new stations opening almost every year. Also you can see some spectacular station architecture. You can even use the city's waterways to look around.

If you haven't been there yet, I hope you will visit St. Petersburg one day and witness the charm of the magnificent city.
