With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience all that Chekhov, 50 miles away, has to offer. See the best sights starting with Museum in Memory of 1941-1945, Lopasnya Zachatyevskoye Manor House and Museum and Chekhov Town Theater. Situated 55 miles away, Ryazan is another place to aim for. If you swing by, make sure you check out Church of the Transfiguration on Yar, Monument to Evpatiy Kolovrat and Ryazan Kremlin.
