With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy all that Serpukhov, 25 miles away, has to offer. Serpukhov Music and Drama Theatre, Vysotsky Monastery and Church of All Saints alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Chekhov is another wonderful option. It’s 30 miles away and has a variety of intriguing things to see and do. Museum in Memory of 1941-1945, Lopasnya Zachatyevskoye Manor House and Museum and Chekhov Town Theater are only the start.
