With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience everything that Klin, 25 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here should be Tchaikovsky House Museum, Arkady Gaidar House Museum and Klin Podvorye, Christmas Tree Ornament Exhibit. The locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Sergiyev Posad, 35 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, let it be Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius. (But we’d also highly recommend Refectory Church of St Sergius and Gefsimansky Chernigovsky Skit.)
