With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy all that Naberezhnye Chelny, 17 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here should be Musy Dzhalilya Park, Museum of Ecology and Nature Protection and Dolphinarium Naberezhnye Chelny. Yelabuga is another popular option. It’s 25 miles away and boasts an array of fascinating things to see and do. Devil’s Ancient Settlement, Nadezhda Durova Estate Museum and N. A. Durova’s Memorial Estate are just the start.
