With some terrific road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience all that Klin, 19 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here should be Tchaikovsky House Museum, Arkady Gaidar House Museum and Klin Podvorye, Christmas Tree Ornament Exhibit. The locals will also probably point you toward Sergiyev Posad, 35 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, let it be Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius. (But we’re also huge fans of Refectory Church of St Sergius and Gefsimansky Chernigovsky Skit.)
