Bauman Street, Kazan

Bauman Street is a pedestrian street in the heart of Kazan. It is named after Nikolay Bauman, prominent Russian revolutionary and friend of Vladimir Lenin. The street starts at the foot of the Kazan Kremlin and stretches to Tukay Square, the central square of the city. Peculiar thing about Bauman Street is the multicolored brick pavement, two lines of lanterns and linden alley, all of which make it a comfortable place to unwind after a long hard day sitting on one of the benches or taking a stroll. The street often plays host to various fairs and public celebrations. It is also home to a number of offices, shops and hotels, as well as, most notably, to the Alley of Tatar Stars.
