Where to go in Russia? Altai, Baikal, the Crimea-the beauty of our homeland can be enumerated endlessly. Tatarstan with its island town of Sviyazhsk can be also remained.

Despite of its small size, Sviyazhsk has a great history and value. It was founded in 1552 and became the town that managed to help Moscow Tsar Ivan the Terrible to conquer Kazan.

On the island there are about 20 ancient buildings, some of them are preserved and restored, for example, the Assumption Cathedral, the bell tower of St. Nicholas Church and others. Unfortunately, many buildings have not been restored yet.

Sviyazhsk is a very authentic place, considering that the village is located on the island at the junction of the Sviyaga and Volga rivers, there is almost no modernity on the island – there are no buses and other transport, new buildings, factories, etc. Here everything is immersed into the picturesque nature and attractions. In addition to excursions, in Sviyazhsk you can go fishing, horseback riding, archery and many activities that are not available in a big city.

Traveling in our country is always full of discoveries, acquaintances and spiritual harmony, and the Republic of Tatarstan has always been famous for its hospitality and friendliness. Therefore, the question-where to go in Russia-we can answer: come to us!
