Cheboksary is the capital of the Republic of Chuvashia and located on the Volga between Nizhny Novgorod and Kazan. The city is a perfect destination for a weekend trip from Moscow to find out more about Chuvash history, culture and traditions. In addition you could also combine it with a visit around the neighbouring republic of Mari El as it is easy to visit Yoshkar-Ola and Kozmodemyansk from here.
