If you find yourself with a little spare time and you’re willing to travel 20 miles, take a look at Cheboksary. This happening destination offers up plenty of things to keep you entertained. Monument of Mother, Chuvash National Museum and Museum of V.I. Chapaev alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Don’t skip Yoshkar-Ola either! Just 35 miles away, Museum of the History of the Gulag, Sapaev Mari State Opera and Ballet Theatre and Mari El National Shketan Drama Theater are must-sees here.
