The capital of Chuvashia is a green, welcoming city on the Volga — just two hours from Kazan and an easy addition to any Volga programme.
Why Cheboksary
Cheboksary is the home of the Chuvash people, with their own language, embroidery, songs and cuisine. The city is known for its wide Volga bay and embankments, the monumental Mother-Patroness statue, and a cosy old town with churches and merchant houses.
