The joy of having a car is that you can travel where you want, when you want. Make full use of your newfound freedom by discovering all there is to do in Ivanovo. It’s just 25 miles away. Arcady Severny Monument, Ivanovsky Museum of Printed Cotton and Palekh Art Museum Gallery alone justify the drive out here. The locals are also likely to point you toward Rostov, 35 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, make sure it’s Rostov Kremlin. (But we’d also recommend Holy Trinity Monastery Varnickiy and Cathedral of the Assumption.)
