With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to explore all that St. Petersburg, 25 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights beginning with Mariinsky Theatre, C-189 Submarine Museum and Yusupov Palace. Situated 30 miles away, Gatchina is another popular option. If you drop by, make sure you check out Gatchina Palace, Palace Park and Around the Corner Theater.
