You’ll want to check out nearby Naberezhnye Chelny. What’s 20 miles when you have your own rental car? The road trip there is half the fun! Among your first few stops here should be Musy Dzhalilya Park, Museum of Ecology and Nature Protection and Dolphinarium Naberezhnye Chelny. The locals will also likely point you in the direction of Yelabuga, 35 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, make sure it’s Devil’s Ancient Settlement. (But we’d also highly recommend Nadezhda Durova Estate Museum and N. A. Durova’s Memorial Estate.)
