Day two is Sviyazhsk and Raifa out of town. Day three starts on the western edge at the Temple of All Religions, goes through the centre and ends at the Blue Lakes in the north. ## Kazan in 3 days on your own: transport Day one is on foot: 5 minutes from Kremlyovskaya metro to the Spasskaya Tower. Day two needs transport: a car, a taxi or the weekend bus to Sviyazhsk. On day three a taxi is easiest for the Temple of All Religions and the Blue Lakes. ## The Blue Lakes: what to know It is a nature reserve, not a beach: swimming only in the five bathing pools; boats, SUP boards and diving on the lakes are banned. The water stays +4…+7 °C all year and does not freeze. Entry is 100 ₽, paid by QR code; children free. ## If you have more time A fourth day can go to Bolgar, or to an easy day in the centre: the Kremlin museums, the Kazanka embankment and Bauman Street in the evening. ## Tips - Backpacks, suitcases and travel bags are not allowed into the Kremlin. - Kremlin museums are free for under-18s visiting on their own. - In winter no hydrofoil runs to Sviyazhsk, and the Assumption Cathedral is open only May to September. - Dress modestly at Raifa and in the Sviyazhsk churches. - Russia uses the rouble (₽). Bank cards issued abroad usually do not work in Russia — plan how you will pay before the trip; for the metro, buy a Troika card at the ticket office. ## Questions ### Is 3 days in Kazan enough?
