Cheboksary is the capital of the Chuvash Republic and one of the most beautiful Russian cities, located on the Volga River. There are many parks and gardens on its territory. Probably that is why Cheboksary was acknowledged the most improved city of Russia in the 2001.
It's amazing how architectural and cultural monuments belonging to different periods of Russian history coexist in Cheboksary. The oldest building of Cheboksary is the Presentation Cathedral, which was erected in the 17th century. Today it is considered the main functional cathedral in Chuvashia. The statue of the Mother and Patroness of the Chuvash people admires by its size and monumentality. This sculpture was created in the 2003. The height of the monument is 46 meters, which far exceeds all other monuments in the city.
Cheboksary has quite many interesting museums, which include the Chuvash National Museum and the Museum of V.I. Chapaev, as well as the Museum of History and the Museum of beer. I know that beer is the national drink of the Chuvash people, and that is why the exposition dedicated to it was opened in Cheboksary in the 1997. At this exhibition, you can not only see an interesting collection of old beer bottles and labels of different times, but also taste the present homemade Chuvash beverage that is brewed specially for the Museum in the village of Komsomolskoye located 120 kilometers from the city.
I'd like to head to Cheboksary: to admire the beauty of the Volga nature, to visit the Museum of beer and other local attractions. I take interest in technique since childhood, so it would be interesting to me to also visit the Interactive Museum of tractors in this city. I read that it gathered the largest collection of such vehicles. Here you can not only watch tractors, but also to try your hand at driving.
