Bulghar is a city where the kingdom of the Volga Bulghars had their capital in the beginning of the 8th century, and where they accepted the Muslim religion in the year 922. In the 13th century, the city was one of the most important centers of the Golden Horde.

The boat will leave Kazan in the morning and return around 6pm. The excursion is planned for Saturday, September 8th.
