With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience everything that Ufa, 25 miles away, has to offer. Salavat Yulaev Monument should be at the top of your to-do list here. Ufa Arena and Friendship Monument are also not to be missed. The locals will also probably point you in the direction of Sterlitamak, 55 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, make sure it’s Sterlitamak Historical Museum. (But we’d also highly recommend Sterlitamak Art Gallery and Sterlitamak Bashkir State Drama Theater.)
