If you find yourself with a bit of spare time and you’re happy to travel 25 miles, check out Naberezhnye Chelny. This vibrant destination has a world of things to keep you occupied. Musy Dzhalilya Park, Museum of Ecology and Nature Protection and Dolphinarium Naberezhnye Chelny alone make the drive out worth it. Locals will also likely point you toward Yelabuga, 35 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, make sure it’s Devil’s Ancient Settlement. (But we’re also big fans of Nadezhda Durova Estate Museum and N. A. Durova’s Memorial Estate.)
