Giro veloce in bici da Staroye Arakchino a Kazan'

Kick off your ride in Staroye Arakchino, a peaceful riverside village on the western edge of Kazan—fun fact, it’s right near where the Volga and Kazanka rivers meet, giving you some relaxing views before the urban scenery rolls in. The route is just under 17 km, mainly sticking to paved and asphalt roads—so your tires will thank you.

You’ll start out on some quiet access roads, making this a chill warm-up as you make your way toward the city. The ride is mostly gentle, with only a couple of hills for a bit of a challenge, but nothing too steep. It’s a great mix if you want some variety without hard climbs.

As you approach Kazan, the roads get a bit busier, but you’ll be treated to glimpses of the city’s unique skyline—including the famous Kazan Kremlin and a mix of Tatar and Russian architecture. All in all, this is a scenic, approachable route for anyone looking to soak up some history and riverside views on their way into one of Russia’s coolest cities.
