With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy all that Ivanovo, 20 miles away, has to offer. Arcady Severny Monument ought to be at the top of your list here. Ivanovsky Museum of Printed Cotton and Palekh Art Museum Gallery are must-see attractions too. Suzdal is another wonderful option. It’s 25 miles away and has a variety of awesome things to see and do. Suzdal Kremlin, Saint Antipius and Saint Lazarus Churches and Monastery of Saint Euthymius are just the start.
