With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up all that Uglich, 50 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights starting with Doll Museum, Church of St John Chrysostom Nativity and Museum of the History of Russian Vodka. Locals will also probably point you toward Klin, 55 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Tchaikovsky House Museum. (But we’re also big fans of Arkady Gaidar House Museum and Klin Podvorye, Christmas Tree Ornament Exhibit.)
