With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up everything that Ufa, 25 miles away, has to offer. See the sights beginning with Salavat Yulaev Monument, Ufa Arena and Friendship Monument. Locals will also likely point you toward Sterlitamak, 60 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, let it be Sterlitamak Historical Museum. (But we’d also recommend Sterlitamak Art Gallery and Sterlitamak Bashkir State Drama Theater.)
