With some awesome road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience all that Cheboksary, 40 miles away, has to offer. Monument of Mother ought to be toward the top of your list here. Chuvash National Museum and Museum of V.I. Chapaev are also not to be missed. Kazan is another popular option. It’s 45 miles away and boasts an array of awesome things to see and do. Kazan Kremlin, Kazan Arena and Kul Sharif Mosque are only the start.
