If you’re looking for day-trip inspiration, we’ve got a couple of suggestions. Located 25 miles away, Kolomna is worth jumping in the car for. Among your first stops here should be Monument to L Type Steam Locomotive, Staro Golutvin Monastery and Kolomna Kremlin. Locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Ryazan, 60 miles away. If you only see one thing here, make sure it’s Church of the Transfiguration on Yar. (But we’d also recommend Monument to Evpatiy Kolovrat and Ryazan Kremlin.)
