Ulyanovsk has loads on offer. You could stay a week or more here and barely scratch the surface. To take in as much as possible in this buzzing metropolis, a rental car is a must. Bear in mind that driving in the city often goes hand in hand with tight streets and limited parking spots. Don’t stress though, because a compact or an economy car can make this much less daunting. If you’re planning to leave the city behind and check out the bays that Ulyanovsk is well known for, you’ll probably prefer something with more room. A full-size or mid-size SUV will make those road trips a dream.
