If you’re after a day-trip destination, we’ve got a couple of ideas. Located 25 miles away, Cheboksary is worth getting in the car for. Monument of Mother, Chuvash National Museum and Museum of V.I. Chapaev alone justify the drive out here. Don’t forget about Yoshkar-Ola either! Just 55 miles away, Museum of the History of the Gulag, Sapaev Mari State Opera and Ballet Theatre and Mari El National Shketan Drama Theater are must-sees here.
