Well that depends where you’re planning to head. Downtown Syktyvkar, about 4 miles from Syktyvkar Airport (SCW), can be challenging to drive in. Make things easy for yourself by opting for something compact, fuel-efficient, and a breeze to handle. That being said, Syktyvkar is a popular base to explore many of the caves around Komi Republic. If your escape is more about cruising down highways, you may want a ride with a bit more comfort and room to move. What about a full-size car or a standard SUV?
