With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy all that Cheboksary, 30 miles away, has to offer. Explore the area beginning with Monument of Mother, Chuvash National Museum and Museum of V.I. Chapaev. Don’t skip Kazan either! Just 45 miles away, Kazan Kremlin, Kazan Arena and Kul Sharif Mosque are essential stops here.
