In honor of the Eras Tour film releasing on Disney+, look back at the best moments from the concert
TAS2023 via Getty
Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is finally coming to a living room near you!
Following the theatrical release of the concert film in October 2023, the Eras Tour film was released on Disney+ on March 14, featuring even more bonus footage from the hit show.
Through the successful world tour , which officially kicked off in March 2023 , Swift takes fans on a musical journey, spanning 10 albums and three hours of music.
With flashy costumes and intricate sets, Swift creates a true spectacle as she performs some of her biggest hits from her illustrious career. Plus, she always has a few surprises up her sleeve, whether it be special guests or announcements about her upcoming albums .
As you relive the Eras Tour with the recent concert film, take a look back at some of the best moments from the show ahead.
It's a Cruel Summer with You
Following a dramatic interlude that references Taylor Swift's first 10 albums, the singer emerges from under the stage to perform her Lover song "Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince." She then segues into her hit track " Cruel Summer ," which leads the audience to erupt in applause.
She's 'The Man'

Swift then addresses the lively crowd, joking that they're making her feel so powerful as she shows off and kisses her biceps. As she slips on a blazer, she transitions into her next song by letting the crowd know that they're making her feel like " The Man ."
This Is Our Place, We Make the Rules

During the show, Swift brings the Lover House to life as she performs the titular song from her seventh studio album with her full band and backup singers.
Swift ends her Lover set by singing her ballad "The Archer," transforming the stage into a starry spectacle.
It's Fearless
Swift then goes back to her Fearless days as she dons her best gold dress on stage. At one point during the set, she throws up a heart for the audience before doing her signature twirl with her studded guitar.
Standing Ovation

One of the highlights of Swift's Evermore era has to be her performance of "Champagne Problems" at her moss-covered piano, which always earns a huge standing ovation from the crowd — with one of her longest being eight minutes during her Los Angeles show.
Tribute to Majorie

During her Evermore set, Swift brings the audience to tears as she performs "Marjorie" penned about her late grandmother Marjorie Finlay , who was an opera singer. For the special performance, Swifties pay tribute to Marjorie by turning on their camera flashlights, creating a beautiful array of lights across the stadium.
Fun Times with Haim

For select dates when Haim served as her opening act , Swift brought out the sibling trio to perform "No Body, No Crime" from her Evermore album. While performing in Santa Clara, California (above), Haim even donned their outfits from the " Bejeweled " music video, in which they played Swift's evil stepsisters.
Entering Her Reputation Era

Nothing quite tops the introduction to Swift's Reputation era as images of snakes and Swift's clanking heels appear on the screen before her hit song "Ready For It?" blares through the speakers. Of course, the transition from "Don't Blame Me" to "Look What You Made Me Do" is a true highlight of the show.
The Old Taylor Can't Come to a Phone Right Now
Taylor Hill/TAS23/Getty
Paying homage to the " Look What You Made Me Do " music video, Swift's backup dancers dress up as "old Taylors" as she performs the hit song on stage. It's a true "eras" moment to see Swift (in all her snake queen glory) with her old selves on one stage.
1, 2, 3, Let's Go!
From clapping during "You Belong with Me" to singing Kendrick Lamar's verse in "Bad Blood," fans have created many interactive chants for the Eras Tour. However, none of them quite top the "1, 2, 3, let's go b----" chant before "Delicate," which even Swift participates in during each show.
Her Princess Moment
Though the Eras Tour's Speak Now set is short, it's definitely sweet as Swift has her princess moment in a gorgeous gown for "Enchanted."
Long Live the Memories We Made
Emma McIntyre/TAS23/Getty
During a few special performances, Swift extended her Speak Now set by singing her hit " Long Live " with her band.
A Perfect Night to Dress Up Like Hipsters
For her Red set, Swift dresses up like a hipster for her performance of "22." In a heartwarming moment, she ends the song by giving her hat to a special fan in the audience.
We Remember It 'All Too Well'
Swift perfectly sets the scene as she sings the 10-minute version of her song "All Too Well" on stage. As she reminisces about fall and winter, the seasons come to life with leaf and snow confetti.
Trouble, Trouble

Swift doesn't hold back with the special effects as she sings her hit "I Knew You Were Trouble" and bursts of smoke appear around her on stage.
Duets with Phoebe Bridgers
John Shearer/TAS23/Getty
During a few select performances, Swift was joined by her opening act Phoebe Bridgers to perform their song "Nothing New" from Red (Taylor's Version) .
The Folklore Cabin
Buda Mendes/TAS23/Getty
Following her Red set, Swift transitions to her Folklore era where she brings the woodsy cabin to life on stage and soulfully sings tracks such as "Cardigan" and "The Last Great American Dynasty."
Lost in the Memory

At one point during her Folklore set, Swift puts her cape dress to good use as she twirls around on stage, getting up close with the audience.
The Rain Came Pouring Down
TAS Rights Management/Getty
During her concert in Foxborough, Massachusetts (above), Swift found a way to "shake off" the rain as she danced the night away in her green two-piece.
Burning It Down
Hours after bringing the Lover House to life, Swift burns it to the ground as she performs her hit "Bad Blood" during her 1989 set. During her show at Arrowhead Stadium (above), Swift perfectly matched the fire hue with her orange outfit and boots.
And the Surprise Song Is . . .
Swift's acoustic set has become one of the most anticipated moments of the Eras Tour as Swifties (in the stadium and watching at home) eagerly wait to hear which songs the singer will perform at the show. Surprise songs have ranged from early hits like "Tim McGraw" to a recent introduction of mashups like "New Year's Day/Peace."
Sweet Moments with Sabrina Carpenter
Don Arnold/TAS24/[SOURCE] for TAS Rights Management
During one special show in Sydney, Australia (above), Swift was joined by her opening act Sabrina Carpenter who joined her in a special performance of "White Horse" at the flower-covered piano.
Speak Now (Taylor's Version)
Swift has also used her acoustic set as an opportunity to make some very special announcements, starting with the announcement of Speak Now (Taylor's Version) during her Nashville show on May 5, 2023 (above).
Friendly Reunions
John Shearer/TAS23/Gett
Months later as Swift debuted the music video for " I Can See You " from Speak Now (Taylor's Version) , she enlisted some surprise guests . The singer was joined on stage by Presley Cash, Joey King and her ex-boyfriend Taylor Lautner , who all played pivotal roles in her Speak Now era.
1989 (Taylor's Version)
Kevin Winter/TAS23/Getty
As Swift performed one of her final shows for the U.S. leg of the Eras Tour on Aug. 9, 2023 (above), she shocked the crowd by announcing 1989 (Taylor's Version) on stage. For the special moment, she debuted several new blue concert looks in honor of the album.
Special Guest Ice Spice
Kevin Mazur/TAS23/Getty
Swift turned MetLife Stadium into a party in May 2023 as she was joined by Ice Spice (above) for a special performance of " Karma ."
Making the Whole Place Shimmer
Swift proves that a diamond's gotta shine as she performs "Bejeweled" on the stage, complete with delightful choreography from her backup dancers.
Dressing for Revenge
Swift's sultry performance of "Vigilante S---" is another highly talked about moment from the show (and has quickly gone viral on social media as many try to replicate her intricate chair choreography).
Confetti Falls to the Ground
John Shearer/TAS23/Getty for TAS Rights Management
It wouldn't be a Taylor Swift show without confetti! As Swift closes the tour with "Karma," the stage is covered with rainbow confetti representing Swift's first 10 albums.

Madonna’s Celebration Tour: Photos From Opening Night in London

After the opening night of The Celebration Tour in London on Saturday (Oct. 14) night at the O2 Arena, the verdict is in: Madonna is back.
Despite a brush with death, the Queen of Pop delivered a two-hour-plus show full of smash hits, killer deep cuts and a surprise or two (or three). Candid as ever, Madonna didn’t shy away from addressing her hospital stay in June due to a “serious bacterial infection” that caused her Celebration Tour’s opening to be pushed back by three months.
17 Best Moments From Madonna's Celebration Tour Opening Night in London
“I didn’t think I was going to make it,” she stated bluntly at one point in the evening. “I forgot five days of my life — or death, I didn’t really know where I was.” Madonna said it was her family, ultimately, who pulled her through. “My children were there — and my children always save me every time.” Calling it her “secret” to survival, Madonna said she simply tells herself, “I have got to be there for my children – I have to survive for them.” Five of her children were on stage with her during the tour opener in London: Mercy James, David Banda, Lourdes, Estere and Stella. And it seems that moving forward, at least four of her kids will be joining her on stage each night as performers.
Joining her throughout the tour, too, is Bob the Drag Queen, a RuPaul’s Drag Race winner and LGBTQ comedy legend in the making. Recounting Madonna’s arrival at LaGuardia airport in the late ‘70s to take on New York City with nothing but $35, Bob tossed a wad of cash into the crowd at the top of the show and drily offered, “Use this and become a star.”

She opened with her 1998 hit "Nothing Really Matters," dressed in a black kimono, similar to the Gaultier-designed one she wore in the song's music video.

Kazan Travel Guide - Perfect Your Travel Itinerary
Home / Russia Travel Experiences / Kazan Travel Guide – Perfect Your Travel Itinerary
Craving a one-of-a-kind, awe-inspiring trip to a place of ancient histories, visually spectacular, and spiritual marvels? The Kazan Travel Guide has everything you need to get just that.
Kazan is the capital of the Tatarstan Republic, also known as Russia’s third capital. Just an hour-and-a-half flight away from Moscow, this beautiful and thriving metropolis has a centuries-old history. Founded in 1005, Kazan is one of Russia’s oldest cities (older than Moscow) with sites and architecture reminiscent of its glorious 12th-century reign by the river Kazanka. The multiethnic region is famous for the harmonious co-existence of many different religions, whose sculpted sacred sites are some of the world’s most beautiful buildings. You’ll find a sublime fusion of Tatar and Russian culture in this city, creating a glorious melting pot of different cultures. Whilst predominantly Muslim, you will find all religious backgrounds within the republic. Discover how easy it is to be entranced by the captivating Kazan – it is even worth making a detour on the Trans-Siberian Railway for.
This Kazan Travel Guide will help you plan everything down to preferred months of travel according to seasonal highlights, main attractions, meals from our pick of Tatar cuisine delicacies, methods of transport, and activities from morning until noon.

Why travel to Russia’s Kazan?
Kazan kremlin.
This UNESCO listed fortified citadel is the most familiar landmark of Kazan. Kazan Kremlin is full of cozy parks, picturesque streets, delectable foods, and beautiful sites. Take a tour through the only surviving Tatar fortress in Russia and lose yourself in its Middle Ages era splendor with this heritage-listed site. Many of the Kremlin’s architectural wonders are sculpted by the famous Postnik Yakovlev and Ivan Shirjay, recruited by the Tzar. Kazan Kremlin is also home to the Söyembikä Tower and museums, where Kazan’s extensive history and legends take centre-stage. Many also flock to the multi-faith place of worship for its glorious sculpted sacred sites such as Kul Sharif Mosque.
Söyembikä Tower
Kazan’s tiered tower of Soyembika, also known as the leaning tower or ‘Khan’s Mosque’ is the highlight of Kazan Kremlin. Its construction is recorded by scholars to date back as far as the 16th century, whose age-old history is expressed in some of its majestic colonial architecture. The colours are stunning in summer, and even in winter, the snow creates a fairytale-like scene. Once inside, you should pay attention to the haram carpet and elaborate details on the ceiling. Romantic and mystic legends surround the tower and the only woman to rule the Kazan Khanate for which it’s named after. It is said to be the same tower that led the beautiful Princess Syuyumbike to her death, built for her by Ivan the Terrible who seized Kazan in 1552 and then demanded they wed. Others tell a different history of a Soyembika forcibly detained here by Muscovite forces, before being taken to Kasimov where she died. For those interested in its story, be wary of self-nominated guides- the official Kazan guides are a purchase worth making. Despite its tragic history, many locals believe if you touch the tower and make a wish it will come true.
Kul Sharif Mosque
The Kul Sharif Mosque is Kazan Kremlin’s main mosque and one of the city’s most beautiful buildings. You will hardly be able to take your eyes off this one-of-a-kind structure. This attraction is not just for Muslims. It is open to all Kazan’s travellers, but it is preferred that women have their hair covered during their visit. The Kul Sharif Mosque takes the place of a former mosque conquered by Ivan the Terrible in 1552. From outside, the majestic lotus-flowered dome landmark sits atop a hill overlooking Kazan. Inside, it’s fitted with a modern yet classical interior where you can pray with the names of 99 gods inscribed on ceilings and window glass. On the ground floor is a Museum of Islam, where a tour in English may be available if there’s an English-speaking docent on shift. Otherwise, there are booklets in English that explain the whole exhibit. Whilst everything is free to all visitors, they ask you pay 3 rubles for shoe slip-covers to help keep its floors clean. It is recommended you go in the morning to avoid a queue to visit the Kul Sharif Mosque, boasting a reputation as one of the best mosques in the world.
Temple of All Religions
For those interested in the spiritual marvels of Russia, it is also recommended you see the Temple of all Religions located along the Volga river of Kazan . This is under construction, so it’s not a must-see, but worth the visit if you have time to kill before taking a train or bus. It boasts 16 towers all for various different religions- a stunning sight to behold from the outside.
Baumana street
The Baumana Street is the main tourist and pedestrian zone between the Kremlin and Tokai Square. Tatarstan restaurants, stalls of street painters, boutiques, souvenir shops, fountains that fulfil wishes and kiosks are just a few of its gems that are ready to assure your every need and charm your socks off. Monuments and fountains make for a perfect photo backdrop, with statuary ranging from a bronze carriage of Catherine II to the “thick lazy Cat of Kazan”, a tribute to its feline protectors who fended off mice. Whilst mingling with the locals, the rich chimes of Kazan’s bell tower help bring the vibrant Arbat to life. Baumana street’s historical attractions include houses of the 19 th century, a monument to Feodor Chaliapin, and a Russian baroque style Epiphany cathedral. For opportunists seeking for the perfect Russian souvenir, Baumana street is the place to buy everything: Matryoshka dolls, Tatar folk costumes, and one particular favourite of tourists is the Tatar national male headwear “Tubeteika”. This is a street that never sleeps- when the sun sets, it becomes a hub for nightlife.
Palace of Farmers
The Palace of Farmers is a vast and regal building like something out of a fairytale. Despite being a recent addition to Kazan’s collection of ancient sites, it looks to be built well over a century ago. This eclectic architectural piece boasts elements of Classicism style, the Second Empire, and the Belle Epoque. A magnificent, 65-foot tall bronze tree sculpture grows in the archway of the palace’s façade- a sight that makes for a mesmerizing photo backdrop. This is a governmental building related to agriculture, so the interior is not accessible. However, it’s worthwhile just to see its magnificently sculpted exterior. Located adjacent to the Kremlin and Kazan river embankment, the Farmer’s Palace makes for beguiling scenery for your riverside stroll. Manicured gardens out front create a serene, relaxing space in the summer sunshine, the site’s most popular season. When the sun sets, the Palace of Farmers comes alive with an array of spectacular light displays.
Raifa Monastery
Whilst known as one of the largest monasteries in Russia, Raifa Monastery had humble beginnings as a place of solitude where monastic followers could dedicate themselves to God. Found in a serene location by Sumy Lakes in a lush pine forest, this centuries-old site has been rebuilt time and time again. Its history tells of temple destruction, brutal plundering, arson, and has once made a home for juvenile delinquents. The history behind the monastery’s name is no exception to this trail of tragedies. In fact, the hermitage was established and named in memory of holy fathers tortured in Sinai and Raithu. Abandoned for over half a century, the ruins have been given new life with well doted on additions. This includes the Holy Trinity Cathedral, the Cathedral of God’s Mother of Georgia, the Church of the Ss Reverend Fathers and bell tower, with beautiful onion-domed architecture and intricate iconography. It’s free to wander monastery grounds, where small shops and cafes populate the area. Arrive at this stunning rural monastery via a 40-minute drive from Kazan (with some free parking available), bus tour, or a scenic boat trip.
Sviyazhsk Island
Sviyazhsk Island, or “Conqueror City”, began as a fortress for Ivan the Terrible in 1551 when Kazan was an unassailable fortress. Frozen in time, visiting the Island is like going through a time machine with no fewer than 37 cultural-historical monuments. Its religious marvels are a must-see. Trinity Church is the last of its kind in Sviyazhsk- a wooden structure dating back to the time of Ivan the Terrible. Axe marks made by Yaroslavl carpenters can still be seen. The Dormition Cathedral boasts a glorious collection of 16th-century frescos. Its most famed is St Christopher with a horse’s head- a fresco that tells the story of a saint so handsome he pleaded to God for ugliness, to avoid unwanted attention from women. However, these monasteries have seen their fair share of horrors- the Soviet political repression saw them turn into prisons, concentration camps, and psychiatric hospitals. A local museum, Sviyazhsk State Museum of History and Architecture, is no stranger to these horrors. Here, inmates and prisoners were executed and their belongings are still on display in abandoned cells inside. A monument to the victims of political repression forms a two-meter-tall marble slab on the island.
The Ancient City of Bolgar
Not far from Kazan, Russia’s mysterious Muslim City, Bolgar, dates back to the 7th and 15th centuries. With such a powerful history, this Eurasian metropolis is one of Russia’s first UNESCO listed sites. It’s served as the capital of the Mongol Golden Horde, ruled by the founder of the Timurids Empire, and even the Prince of Moscow. A 1969 excavation for the State Historical and Architectural Museum and Reserve saw the city turned into a huge open-air museum. Stone citadels, mosques, and tombs are some of its jaw-dropping remains from its glory days. Other attractions include the Khan’s palace, White Mosque, the hidden healing well of Gabdrakhman, a 700-year-old burial chamber for Bolgar nobility, and an interactive bread museum. The city of Bolgar has great religious significance, once the center of Islamic civilization in Europe. Here, you can find the largest printed Kora in the world weighing at 500kg. Bolgar remains a sacred pilgrimage destination to Tatar Muslims. The city of Bolgar is a three hours’ drive from Kazan along the scenic route of the river Volga.
Kazan from a boat
Kazan’s river station is flocked to by tourists eager to experience the scenic water route along the city’s shores. Travelling through Kazan with a Volga River boat trip is filled with incredible landscapes and jaw-dropping scenes. Gorgeous views of some of the city’s beloved icons include the Kazan Kremlin, whose structure sparkles like a jewel in the sun in all its Russian glory. The comfortable steam-ships on the rivers and lakes of Russia depart a few times a day to make for regular service (12:00, 15:00, and 19:00 on most days). Two-hour boat trips without stops, with a guided tour along Kazan’s coast. A total of 9 dams choke the river and halt its waters to a standstill- a glistening, magical scene that is a magnet for artists, writers and explorers. By its shores, the Volga river is a favourite for camping, relaxing, fishing, and swimming.
Kazan Cuisine Guide: A Foodie’s Haven
Kazan is the central home of Russia’s Tatar cuisine, boasting many restaurants and cafes that have earned its keep in the hearts of foodies across the globe. This Kazan Travel Guide will convince you why this is a haven for Russian and eastern cuisine.
Museum of Chak-Chak
The Museum of Chak-Chak (Çäkçäk) is named after the mouth-watering honey-baked balls of doughy goodness, a delicacy served at celebrations and festivities. This museum-turned food establishment is dedicated to traditional Tatar foods and drinks, particularly their national sweet foods. Bashkir dishes, chak-chak, bursak, and kak-tosh made from almonds are some of the recipes derived from Tatar enlightener kayum nasyri. These are only some of the most popular must-try dishes that cannot go unsampled. Here, guests drink tea and sample desserts whilst guides tell stories of the ancient Tatar people’s way of life, tradition and customs. If you want to learn the secret to cooking the perfect Tatar dish, this is the place to be.
Dom Tatarskoi Kulinarii (restaurant)
Dom Tatarskoi Kulinarii, or House of Tatar Cuisine, is one of the oldest national restaurants that has earnt its place in the heart of foodies from across the globe. Its dishes are based on Yunus Akhmetzyanov’s time-tested recipes and traditions – a beloved local guardian of traditional Tatar cuisine. Here you can find confectionary like Tatar sweets, and authentic dishes such as:
- Echpochmak: These are triangle-shaped pastries stuffed with mince and potatoes. A small hole remains at the top of the stuffed and folded dough. Halfway through the oven baking process, the pastries are filled with a spoonful of broth, ensuring that the meat (stuffed raw) is moist and tender.
- Gubadiya: Layered pie which contains cottage cheese or quark, minced beef or lamb and boiled egg, which is combined with raisins or mixed dried fruits (such as figs, prunes and apricots). This filling is then covered with melted butter before being baked into a mouthwatering dessert.
- Kazylyk: Originating from Tatar nomadic culture, this dish is a horse meat sausage which has been traditionally cured by air-drying in the sun and wind. It is often spiced with coriander or cumin, served in thin slices with pickled sliced onions
- Talkysh kaleve: This intricate dessert involves honey and sugar spun into a stringy fairy-floss which is then moulded into miniature cones and coated with a powder of melted butter and flour
- Manti: Tatar dumplings made from either spiced lamb, beef or horse meat, which can be mixed with pumpkin or squash depending on the region. They can be boiled or steamed in their own juices, typically served with butter, sour cream, onion sauce or red pepper powder.
In the evenings, your wining and dining with this Bauman street food will be accompanied by live music and the opportunity for master classes about preparing national dishes.
Kazan Travel Guide: Summer Highlights
Months & temperature.
June, July, August: +24 – +27 C
Summer is by far the most popular and most frequented time of year to trek to Russia’s glorious Kazan city. The bustling, sunny and comfortable seasons of June, July and August are some of the best months to travel here. July is its hottest month at an average of 27 degrees- the perfect time to bask by the mesmerising Volga River.
The Sabantuy Tatar National Festival in June is jam-packed with competitions, sports events, dances, feasts, and music. This holiday hallmarks the end of spring crop planting and draws crowds of up to 40,000 in Kazan’s village of Mirny. Competitions of sportsmanship draw contenders near and far, both amateur and professional, in games like the egg-and-spoon race, sack races, horse races, and wrestling matches. Contenders for the more professional scenes like wrestling can earn prizes varying from home electronics to cars. The wrestling champion is declared ‘Batyr’ and lifts an overweight ram onto his (or her) shoulders for the cheering crowd. This festival is a marvel to behold, especially witnessing it for the very first time.

This begins weeklong festivities and celebrations acknowledging the awakening of nature and the beauty of life. Dancing, traditional costumes, theatrical performances, Tatar baker’s delicacies, and fortune tellers are part of the joyous festivities.

Top 12 Things to Do in Kazan, Russia
Russia's most impressive Kremlin isn't in Moscow
Kazan is not one of Russia 's most famous tourist cities, which makes sense when you consider that it's not in Russia —at least not completely. Kazan is the capital of Tatarstan, which sits within Russia 's official borders, but whose government operates autonomously in many capacities, due to the large populations of ethnic Tatars who live within its borders.
A trip to Kazan, to be sure, is like no other experience in Russia, thanks to the city's millennium of history, the diverse population (and the fact that it manages to live mostly in peace) and a standard of modernity you might not expect outside Moscow or St. Petersburg .
Tour Russia's Most Unique Kremlin
One thing many travelers don't realize, if they've never visited Russia, is that there is no such thing as "The" Kremlin, though the one in Moscow usually gets the most attention.
Every Russian city of a certain size has a Kremlin (which means "citadel" in Russian), and they all feature a combination of government, religious and military buildings inside a wall, often over a body of water (the Volga River, in Kazan's case).
The Kazan Kremlin has a decidedly Islamic character, owing to the city's large Muslim population and the mosque that exists within the citadel.
Visit the Temple of All Religions
Kazan has long gained accolades not only from within Russia but from all around the world, for the fact the Christians and Muslims have lived together here in peace for nearly a millennium.
Although it's easy to see this harmony lived out among locals, one site that pays homage to co-existence is the aptly-named Temple of All Religions.
This sacred site, which features multiple architectural styles in order to achieve its aim, sits just outside Kazan's city center.
Experience the World's Religions Individually
Of course, you're welcome to appreciate Kazan's religious eclecticism in a more piecemeal fashion, if that suits you.
Within the aforementioned Kazan Kremlin, for example, you'll find the blue-domed Kul Sharif Mosque, as well as the Annunciation Cathedral, which represents Russian Orthodox Christianity.
Religious sites are abundant outside the Kremlin as well, from Märcani Mosque to St. Peter and Paul's Cathedral.
Relax in a Variety of Green Spaces
Kazan is well-known within Russia for the quality of life its citizens enjoy, and a big part of this is the wide variety of green spaces in the city. The most popular of these is Millennium Park, built to commemorate the city's 1,000th birthday in 2005. Other Kazan Parks include the Central Park of Culture and Park Imeni.
Cool Off at an Exciting Water Park
Kazan is also home to a park of another sort, in the form of Riviera Aquapark. This park comes in handy too, since Kazan is much hotter than other cities in Russia, with summer temperatures that regularly rise into the '80s and '90s. A trip to Riviera Aquapark is a particularly good choice if you won't have the time to explore the lakes you find in Tatarstan outside Kazan.
Go Back in Time to the Soviet Union
Though Kazan was never a purely Russian city, it was nonetheless under the control of the Soviet Union during the country's entire existence. A stop at the quirky Soviet Lifestyle Museum is not so much a lesson in Soviet history (though there is plenty of artwork and other propaganda in case that's your thing), but a compelling comparison of how things were under the USSR government vs today's largely autonomous regime.
Shop for Local Tatar Handicrafts
Like Moscow , Kazan is home to its own GUM department store, as well as a number of other "big box" retailers that would have Stalin rolling over in his grave. Heading to the more traditional Koltso shopping area, meanwhile, allows you to browse local Tatar handicrafts, including Tubeteika hats that are a common sight throughout Central Asia.
Check out a Variety of Festivals and Other Cultural Events
Kazan, like many other Russian cities, features a variety of festivals and other cultural events throughout the year, many of which are international and cosmopolitan in their scope. Music festivals devoted to opera and jazz roll through the city in February and August, respectively, while a high-profile festival dedicated to Muslim cinema from around the world returns every September.
Discover Local Tatar Culture
Of course, a trip to Kazan presents plenty of opportunities to experience and celebrate local Tatar Culture, whether that entails shopping for clothing items as above, sampling Tatar cuisine as below, or participating in the Karavan Festival in May, which takes places not only in Kazan but throughout the Republic. If you're interested in Tatar Culture, this might be the best time of year to visit Tatarstan!
Enjoy the Tasty Tatar Cuisine
Tatar food is a bit more evergreen than conspicuous displays of traditional culture, though some items seem more appropriate in warm or cold weather than others.
Ukha fish soup, for example, is a more welcome choice to slurp down during the frigid winter months, while chak-chak doughnuts are more palatable when the temperature rises into the 80s and 90s.
Ride a Riverboat During the Summer
Speaking of the warmer months, it is during this period exclusively (May to October, give or take) when boats travel on the Volga River that runs through Kazan.
While some companies do exist for the purpose of taking tourists on pleasure rides along the river, you should keep in mind that many of these boats are essentially water buses.
While this means they're affordable, they can also be quite crowded, making for an authentic experience, but a less than idyllic one.
Get Out of Town
Kazan is the capital of Tatarstan, but it's not all there is to the Republic. You could take a day trip to Raifa Monastery, which sits on the shores of a lake whose chilly waters are perfect for a dip during the summer.
The town of Bolgar is a little farther (if you do visit on a day trip, it'll be a very long day), but has been important throughout Russian history, and is currently a pilgrimage site for Muslims.
Finally, Christopol feels more like the rest of Russia, with a 1700s aesthetic that may have you feeling like you're in the time of Catherine the Great—or closer to Helsinki than to Istanbul, as it were.

Matt McCarty goes from Korn Ferry to the Masters after winning in Utah for first PGA Tour title
By the associated press | posted - oct. 13, 2024 at 6:52 p.m..
Estimated read time: 3-4 minutes
IVINS, Utah — Matt McCarty started the year on the Korn Ferry Tour and now is headed to the Masters, winning his first PGA Tour title Sunday at the Black Desert Championship with a 4-under 67 and one swing that all but sealed it.
McCarty won three times on the Korn Ferry Tour to earn an instant promotion in August. In his third start on the PGA Tour, he made winning look just as easy. Staked to a two-shot lead going into the final round, he never trailed at Black Desert Resort and won by three shots.
Stephan Jaeger closed within one shot with birdies on the 14th and 15th. McCarty effectively ended any threat with a 3-wood on the 310-yard 14th that was close to perfect, bounding onto the green and settling 3 1/2 feet from the cup for an eagle.
The victory means the 26-year-old left-hander from Arizona is assured of being in three of the majors next year. He gets into the Masters and PGA Championship with his PGA Tour title, and McCarty already earned a spot in the U.S. Open by leading the Korn Ferry Tour points list.
McCarty becomes the first player since Jason Gore to win three times on the developmental tour to earn an instant promotion and then win on the PGA Tour in the same season. He finished at 23-under 261 and earned $1.35 million.
"I don't know how you can expect this," McCarty said. "It's just a lot of fun. I've been working really hard. This year was great for me. To get out here a little early, to get some experience was great and obviously this now.
"It's just been a crazy last few months for me."
McCarty didn't face much stress — he can attribute that to some beautiful lag putting — except for that one brief moment when Jaeger made a late move.
All the potential challengers went the other direction for much of the sunny day in southwestern Utah, the Beehive State's first time hosting a PGA Tour event in 61 years.
Joe Highsmith, playing in the final group, made double bogey on the opening hole. Harris English had three bogeys on the front nine that offset three birdies and kept him from making a move. Jaeger, who went toe-to-toe with Scottie Scheffler to win the Houston Open in March, managed only one birdie on the front nine.
McCarty motored along, leading by three, not dropping a shot until a three-putt from 55 feet from below a ridge on the 12th hole. And then when Jaeger holed a 5-foot birdie putt on the 13th and drove the 14th green for a two-putt birdie to close within one, McCarty answered.
He hit a draw with his 3-wood, stared it down and said, "Turn!" That it did, landing short of the green and slowing into the grain to nearly tap-in range. Jaeger, two groups ahead of him, had three straight birdie putts burn the edge of the cup.
Jaeger closed with a birdie on the par-5 18th for a 68 to finish alone in second.
"I gave myself a shot," Jaeger said. "I didn't drive it well enough to give myself shorter clubs in and ample opportunity for birdie. But sometimes you have that. I made some nice putts coming in, so I'm happy with that."
Lucas Glover shot 62 and tied for third with Kevin Streelman, who had a big opportunity even without having a serious chance to win. The FedEx Cup Fall is largely about players finishing in the top 125 to keep full PGA Tour cards for 2025.
Streelman came in at No. 177, and every shot mattered. He angrily slapped his thigh when he missed a 6-foot birdie putt on the 16th hole, and then he watched his wedge hit the pin on the par-3 17th and bound off the green. He managed to save par, and he birdied the 18th for a 69.
That moved him to No. 138, getting him a little closer to 125th with at least four more tournaments left in the fall.
