That depends where you plan to wander. Downtown Kaluga, about 4 miles from Kaluga Airport (KLF-Grabtsevo), can be challenging to drive in. Make things easy by choosing something compact, fuel-efficient, and simple to handle. Bear in mind that Kaluga is an excellent base to explore some of the foothills in Kaluga Oblast. If your vacation is more about cruising down highways, you may want something with a bit more trunk space and legroom. What about a full-size car or a standard SUV?
