You’ll want to explore nearby Samara. What’s 17 miles when you have your own rental car? The drive itself is half the fun! Samara Beach, Military History Museum of the Volga-Ural Military District and Chamber Stage Drama Theater alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Situated 50 miles away, Tolyatti is another popular destination. If you visit, be sure to check out Museum of Historical and Cultural Heritage of Tolyatti, Church of Saint Patriarch Tikhon of Moscow and Youth Theater Vokzal.
