If you’re searching for a day-trip destination, we’ve got some suggestions. Situated 18 miles away, Kolomna is worth the drive. Monument to L Type Steam Locomotive, Staro Golutvin Monastery and Kolomna Kremlin alone justify the drive. The locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Ryazan, 45 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Church of the Transfiguration on Yar. (But we’re also big fans of Monument to Evpatiy Kolovrat and Ryazan Kremlin.)
