With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to enjoy everything that Ufa, 25 miles away, has to offer. Salavat Yulaev Monument, Ufa Arena and Friendship Monument alone make the drive out here worthwhile. The locals will also likely point you toward Sterlitamak, 55 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, make sure it’s Sterlitamak Historical Museum. (But we’re also big fans of Sterlitamak Art Gallery and Sterlitamak Bashkir State Drama Theater.)
