The greatest part about having your own car is that you can go anywhere, anytime. Make full use of your freedom by experiencing all that there is to do in Cheboksary. It’s just 25 miles away. Among your first stops here should be Monument of Mother, Chuvash National Museum and Museum of V.I. Chapaev. Locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Yoshkar-Ola, 45 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, make sure it’s Museum of the History of the Gulag. (But we’d also recommend Sapaev Mari State Opera and Ballet Theatre and Mari El National Shketan Drama Theater.)
