With some great road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore everything that Serpukhov, 50 miles away, has to offer. Serpukhov Music and Drama Theatre, Vysotsky Monastery and Church of All Saints alone justify the drive out here. Don’t skip Chekhov either! Just 55 miles away, Museum in Memory of 1941-1945, Lopasnya Zachatyevskoye Manor House and Museum and Chekhov Town Theater are must-sees here.
