With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up all that Tver, 40 miles away, has to offer. Mikhail Krug Monument, Tver City Park and Museum of Tver Life alone make the drive out worthwhile. Locals will also probably point you toward Klin, 40 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, make sure it’s Tchaikovsky House Museum. (But we’re also big fans of Arkady Gaidar House Museum and Klin Podvorye, Christmas Tree Ornament Exhibit.)
