With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up all that Kislovodsk, 30 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights beginning with Yaroshenko Memorial House Museum, Dacha Chaliapin Historical and Cultural Museum and Kislovodsk Dolphinarium. Located 60 miles away, Nalchik is another place to aim for. If you swing by, be sure to check out Kovrik Nalchik Municipal Drama Theater, Spartak Stadium and State Republican Music Theater of Kabardino-Balkar Republic.
