With some awesome road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to explore everything that Naberezhnye Chelny, 25 miles away, has to offer. Musy Dzhalilya Park should be at the top of your to-do list here. Museum of Ecology and Nature Protection and Dolphinarium Naberezhnye Chelny are must-see attractions too. Locals will also probably point you toward Yelabuga, 35 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, let it be Devil’s Ancient Settlement. (But we’re also huge fans of Nadezhda Durova Estate Museum and N. A. Durova’s Memorial Estate.)
