With some awesome road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience everything that Ufa, 20 miles away, has to offer. Explore the area beginning with Salavat Yulaev Monument, Ufa Arena and Friendship Monument. The locals are also likely to point you toward Sterlitamak, 55 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Sterlitamak Historical Museum. (But we’d also recommend Sterlitamak Art Gallery and Sterlitamak Bashkir State Drama Theater.)
