With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore everything that Cheboksary, 25 miles away, has to offer. See the best sights beginning with Monument of Mother, Chuvash National Museum and Museum of V.I. Chapaev. The locals will also probably point you toward Kazan, 50 miles away. If you only see one thing here, let it be Kazan Kremlin. (But we’re also big fans of Kazan Arena and Kul Sharif Mosque.)
