Kazan in August 2025 – is it worth going to rest? Weather and reviews, air temperature and how to dress, prices for tours, tickets and hotels. What to see in Kazan in early August and at the end of the summer, where to go in Tatarstan – in the Eurotraveler review.
The finish of summer seems to be created for travel! In August, not even an emotional person begins to feel something like “time leaves”, and seeks to “jump into the last car.” Unless, of course, he is no longer going in him … somewhere south.
However, if you think about it, there is no particular need for a hurry. Since in Russia in August there is where to go – albeit at the last moment. Without overpaying gigantic amounts for flights and a hotel room, and then – completely not suffering from a lack of impressions.
In the previous material, we described one of these places! After all, one of the largest and most beautiful cities in Russia, Nizhny Novgorod at the end of summer, for many reasons, definitely deserves a visit.
Now we will call you to visit another Volga metropolis – Kazan in August also enjoys warm and sunlight!
And also: calm and silence. Lack of traffic jams in connection with the traditional departure of indigenous inhabitants to the sea
Little by little, prices come to their senses, which have lost all sorts of shores in the midst of the season. Well, most importantly – the City Day in Kazan is celebrated in August!
Fun and on a grand scale, often with the participation of famous performers. And is it possible otherwise, because this event is literally the last chord of the outgoing summer? Preceding the offensive of a much more weekly month, September!
Weather in Kazan in August
Very similar to the version in Nizhny Novgorod. What is unlikely to surprise – the distance between the cities in a straight line is less than 400 kilometers!
In recent years, the air temperature in Kazan in early August easily reaches +29-30 ° C and even exceeds it. So until the middle of the month you have every right to count on not only warm, but also hot weather.
In the second half of August, a cooling usually comes-in the afternoon, first up to +20-25 ° C, and then only to +18-20 ° C. There are, of course, exceptions-in other years, air temperatures can visit the territory about +14-15 ° C for several days. And in others, on the contrary, soar about +30 ° C.
The evenings are cooler, regardless of the year. Moreover, stability is not worth dreaming: after sunset, the air temperature can decrease both to +21-22 ° C and fall to +12-13 ° C.
The duration of the day at these latitudes at the end of summer is rapidly falling. If on August 1 the sun in Kazan rises at 4 in the morning, and it enters at about 8 pm (daylight hours – 16 hours), then by 31 he does the same for an hour earlier (daylight hours – less than 14 hours).
It will not wait too often-usually for a maximum of 4-5 days-and not abundantly. As a result, humidity is in a healthy range of 60-70%, provoking long walks in the city center.
Well, on water excursions – who in clear and warm weather will refuse to travel on a boat along the Volga or from a ship walk to Sviyazhsk? The reviews on this subject are unambiguous-many travelers go to see the “Island-Grad” first of all.
We emphasize that temperatures above +30 ° C are generally not characteristic of Kazan in August. Usually, only the beginning of the month differs with frankly hot weather, then in the daytime, street temperatures do not rise above +25-27 ° C.
What to take with you
First of all, we recommend not to forget to put in luggage a sufficient amount of light clothing from natural fabrics in order not to experience discomfort when walking. Cakes and panamas, shadeing the face of the hat, will not damage. After all, the Volga sun will not see that the end of summer is in the yard and easily burn your skin.
Will there be a chance to swim? This is possible-even in the Volga, water in August is sometimes warmed up to +25-26 ° C, what can we say about pools in hotels and water parks? Conclusion – bathing accessories may well be in demand.
At the same time, even during a brief trip to Kazan in August, things can be useful to warmer. Windings and light jackets, jumper and sweatshirts – all this will almost certainly want to wear in the case of evening or night promenade. We are no longer saying that very strong winds are cutting very strong winds over the expanses of the Volga!
Prices 2025
Despite the impressive distance between, for example, Moscow and Kazan (over 800 km, 11-12 hours on the road by rail), the train remains convenient and demanded by tourists to get to the capital of Tatarstan. This, of course, is also facilitated by ticket prices: a sedentary place costs from 2,000 rubles, reserved seat – from 3,000.
However, an increasing number of tourists today prefer to overcome the distance between Moscow and Kazan by car. Since a journey of this kind, if it does not promise savings (only for travel along the paid M-12, you will have to give about 5,000 rubles one way), it will definitely last less in time.
There is no need to count on the cheapness when searching for hotels located near the center. Since, despite the incompetent climate, Kazan and in January is popular with tourists. And stably enters the top 5 of the most visited cities in Russia.
So the price for a number in the region of 4-5 thousand rubles for two per night here should be considered not just acceptable, but in general-budget! That’s just finding offers in hotels for this amount is not too simple.
First of all, we will advise you to look aside in the hotel Amsterdam, deployed on Abdullah Tukai Street, that is, near the Old Tatar settlement. For this is a clean and inexpensive hotel, albeit sometimes with completely tiny rooms.
An excellent option for a family of 3-5 people looks like an option with daily rental of a separate 1-2-room apartment. With fresh (usually) repairs and all the necessary household appliances-to rent such housing and at the end of summer it will turn out for 4-6 thousand rubles per day.
Excursions and tours
If you have to spend much more on the hotels in comparison with a very recent past, then the prices for excursions in Kazan have practically not risen lately.
As a result, even an extremely saturated sightseeing walk-trip with inspection of the main attractions of the city costs up to 1,500-1,700 rubles per person. A tour of the Kremlin or, for example, the Staro-Tatar settlement has every chance to meet 800-1000 rubles in a fork.
Most excursion tours are based on the fact that the tourist arrives in Kazan on his own and looking for a hotel – they will only help him with a transfer (for additional money) from the airport or station. The cost of such 3-day programs begins with 25 thousand rubles per person.
What to do
The Kremlin, flaunting the original white stone walls and towers built in the era of Ivan the Terrible, and the pedestrian street of Bauman – the main attractions of Kazan. Walking through which you can make yourself a complete picture of the capital of Tatarstan, as well as the key moments of its history.
Fans of ethnography and rare wooden houses are probably in a hurry to walk around the Old Tatar settlement. Perhaps, together with the guide. For for an unknown reason, excursions on this piece of old Kazan are especially inexpensive.
Visitors with children – all the more, on the eve of the start of the school year – will surely want to visit the Kirly Park Park. And someone, sufficiently subsidized, will take the child to the idea to the theater of the dolls of the Estens. Whose building is in itself a recognizable attraction of Kazan.
Especially lucky with entertainment for those who will coincide their trip to Kazan on the City Day, August 30. Since on this day, festive events take place in the city almost everywhere.
On the Kremlin Embankment and at the Palace of farmers, near the center of the Kazan family and in the Old Tatar settlement, on the embankment of Lake Kaban. At 22 o’clock the sky over the city, according to tradition, will bloom a colorful fireworks.
Where to go nearby
If you take a couple of extra days for a trip to August Kazan, you can reward yourself with a visit to beautiful and directly unique places in the neighborhood.
In particular, we strongly recommend that we get to the island of a fortress called Sviyazhsk. Moreover, in the summer, cruise heaters regularly swim there from Kazan.
The Raifsky Mother of God Monastery also belongs to the number of iconic attractions of Tatarstan. After all, it was founded in the 17th century!
A small town of 140 km from Kazan, which visionarily acquired a nearby replica of famous historical buildings. And since then it has turned into a place of pilgrimage to tourists!
