With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to enjoy everything that Suzdal, 40 miles away, has to offer. Explore the area starting with Suzdal Kremlin, Saint Antipius and Saint Lazarus Churches and Monastery of Saint Euthymius. Vladimir is another terrific option. It’s 55 miles away and home to an array of interesting things to do. Vladimir Central Prison, Roman Catholic Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary of the Rosary and Golden Gates of Vladimir are just the start.
