With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up all that Naberezhnye Chelny, 25 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here should be Musy Dzhalilya Park, Museum of Ecology and Nature Protection and Dolphinarium Naberezhnye Chelny. Don’t forget about Yelabuga either! Just 35 miles away, Devil’s Ancient Settlement, Nadezhda Durova Estate Museum and N. A. Durova’s Memorial Estate are must-sees here.
