Kazan is the capital and largest city of the Republic of Tatarstan, Russia. With a population of 1,143,535, it is the eighth most populous city in Russia.
In April 2009, the Russian Patent Office granted Kazan the right to brand itself as the "Third Capital" of Russia. In 2009 it was chosen as the "Sports capital of Russia" and it still is referred to as such.
The Kazan Kremlin, a World Heritage Site, was visited by 1.5 million tourists in 2015 and hotel and entertainment complex with aquapark called “Kazan Riviera” was visited by 1 million tourists. This vibrant city with over 1000 years of history is an excellent travel destination, and the number of tourists visiting is rapidly increasing every year.
Trip Designs coordinated all travel arrangements for my daughter’s synchronized swimming team’s trip to Belgrade, Serbia for a competition. Trip Designs came highly recommended from a friend, who has used them for many, many years. Their team saved us lots of time and hassle of organizing the group travel for our athletes, coaches and parents accommodating everyone’s itineraries and specific needs. The booking process went very smoothly and we received all of our travel documents without incident. Trip Designs team went above and beyond in customer service and in getting us the best deal. We continue to use them for our international travel.
