Kazan is said to be one of the safest cities in Russia, however, it is not totally crime-free. Be aware of strangers approaching you on trains or in the streets, as they may have intentions to pick-pocket. Do not flash money or valuables around as this immediately makes you a target – keep excess money and cards locked away in your hotel room. Confirm with your hotel which areas should be avoided, especially at night, and circle these areas on your map. Keep your passport on you at all times, preferably in a discreet money belt or travel purse, in order to prevent being harassed or fined by police, should they approach you.

Be wary of drinking UNLABELLED vodka. Bootleg vodka is common and you may be unknowingly drinking shoe polish or other chemicals – stick to labelled bottles purchased at a store. Watch out for wayward traffic when walking – pedestrians do not have right of way over cars. You may experience effects of discrimination in Russia. Try to not take it personally or be lured into any kind of altercation – stick within a group where possible.

Ensure you are up-to-date with routine vaccines before travelling. It is recommended to be vaccinated against Hepatitis A, as you may come into contact with contaminated food or water. Tap water is unsafe to drink – stick to bottled water for consumption and brushing teeth.
