If you find yourself with a bit of spare time and you don’t mind traveling 16 miles, check out Naberezhnye Chelny. This lively place has a world of things to keep you engaged. Among your first stops here should be Musy Dzhalilya Park, Museum of Ecology and Nature Protection and Dolphinarium Naberezhnye Chelny. Locals will also probably point you toward Yelabuga, 18 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, make sure it’s Devil’s Ancient Settlement. (But we’d also recommend Nadezhda Durova Estate Museum and N. A. Durova’s Memorial Estate.)
