Discover the delights of nearby Sergiyev Posad. What’s 25 miles when you have your own set of wheels? The road trip there is half the fun! Among your first few stops here should be Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, Refectory Church of St Sergius and Gefsimansky Chernigovsky Skit. The locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Rostov, 60 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, let it be Rostov Kremlin. (But we’d also recommend Holy Trinity Monastery Varnickiy and Cathedral of the Assumption.)
