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 everything that Belgorod, 25 miles away, has to offer. City Mall Belgorod ought to be toward the top of your list here. Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord and Cathedral Square are also not to be missed. Located 55 miles away, Kursk is another popular choice. If you swing by, make sure you check out Museum of the Battle of Kursk, Kursk State Regional Museum of Archaeology and Kursk Museum of Local Lore.
