With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience all that Suzdal, 45 miles away, has to offer. See the sights starting with Suzdal Kremlin, Saint Antipius and Saint Lazarus Churches and Monastery of Saint Euthymius. Don’t forget about Kostroma either! Just 60 miles away, Fire Tower, Ivan Susanin Monument and Kostroma Regional Planetarium are non-negotiable stops here.
