Chak-Chak Museum
Музей чак-чака
A private museum in the Old Tatar Quarter where you tour traditional Tatar homes with a guide, then taste chak-chak with Tatar tea.
Located in a restored Tatar merchant's residence in the Old Tatar Quarter, the museum is themed around chak-chak, the Tatar national dessert made of fried dough and honey. Visits are guided by staff in traditional costume, who introduce Tatar wedding customs, household furnishings and tea-drinking etiquette. At the end, visitors sit together to taste chak-chak and Tatar tea snacks. It is very interactive and popular. Tickets are sold by session, and advance booking is recommended in peak season. Packaged chak-chak can also be bought in the shop as a souvenir.
Opening hours
Approx. 10:00–19:00 (guided by session)
