With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy everything that Ivanovo, 50 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights starting with Arcady Severny Monument, Ivanovsky Museum of Printed Cotton and Palekh Art Museum Gallery. The locals will also probably point you in the direction of Kostroma, 55 miles away. If you only see one thing here, make sure it’s Fire Tower. (But we’re also big fans of Ivan Susanin Monument and Kostroma Regional Planetarium.)
