With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up all that Tambov, 30 miles away, has to offer. G.V.Chicherin Museum should be high up on your list here. Inzhavino Museum of Local Lore and Tambov State Drama Theater are fantastic attractions too. Don’t miss Lipetsk either! Just 50 miles away, GV Plekhanov Museum, Heroes of Aviation Monument and Lipetsk Municipal Theater are essential stops here.
