With some awesome road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up all that Ryazan, 50 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights beginning with Church of the Transfiguration on Yar, Monument to Evpatiy Kolovrat and Ryazan Kremlin. Don’t miss Chekhov either! Just 50 miles away, Museum in Memory of 1941-1945, Lopasnya Zachatyevskoye Manor House and Museum and Chekhov Town Theater are non-negotiable stops here.
