Bauman Street
Улица Баумана
Kazan's liveliest pedestrian street, running about 1.5 km from the Kremlin past historic buildings, restaurants and street sculptures
One of Kazan's oldest streets, Bauman Street runs from near the Kremlin to Tukay Square and is about 1.5 km long. It has been converted into a pedestrian street. Most of the buildings along it are 19th-century merchant houses and shops. Highlights include the Kazan Cat sculpture, a replica of the tsar's carriage, a monument to the opera singer Fyodor Chaliapin and the 74-metre Epiphany Bell Tower.
Restaurants, souvenir shops and Tatar dessert shops line the street, and street performers make evenings especially lively. Tukay Square or Kremlin metro stations are right at the ends of the street.
