With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience everything that Serpukhov, 25 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights beginning with Serpukhov Music and Drama Theatre, Vysotsky Monastery and Church of All Saints. Located 30 miles away, Kaluga is another popular tourist destination. If you stop by, be sure to check out Kaluga XXI Century, Tsiolkovsky State Museum of Cosmonautics History and Tsiolkovsky Memorial House Museum.
