🇷🇺 Russia - Kazan's Island Свияжск Visit

Address: Свияжск (34 km away from Kazan) is a small island. The island is not very large, and you can basically walk around the whole island in two to three hours. The environment of the island is decent, with churches, museums, and other places to visit. Many tour groups come here for sightseeing. There are supermarkets and cafes on the island where you can grab a bite, but the food is a bit expensive and may not be enough to satisfy a full meal, so it's best to just have a light snack. ⚠️ How to get from Kazan to the island: Boat location: Казань, Речной порт (buses is this location). It takes 2 hours and 15 minutes to get to the island from Kazan by boat (the return trip takes the same amount of time). You can also take a train.
