With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to explore all that Kaluga, 30 miles away, has to offer. Kaluga XXI Century should be at the top of your list here. Tsiolkovsky State Museum of Cosmonautics History and Tsiolkovsky Memorial House Museum are interesting attractions too. Don’t skip Serpukhov either! Just 60 miles away, Serpukhov Music and Drama Theatre, Vysotsky Monastery and Church of All Saints are must-sees here.
