With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience all that Ivanovo, 25 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights beginning with Arcady Severny Monument, Ivanovsky Museum of Printed Cotton and Palekh Art Museum Gallery. Located 40 miles away, Rostov is another popular option. If you drop by, be sure to check out Rostov Kremlin, Holy Trinity Monastery Varnickiy and Cathedral of the Assumption.
