With some terrific road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy everything that Klin, 20 miles away, has to offer. Tchaikovsky House Museum ought to be at the top of your to-do list here. Arkady Gaidar House Museum and Klin Podvorye, Christmas Tree Ornament Exhibit are also not to be missed. Sergiyev Posad is another wonderful option. It’s 35 miles away and has a range of fascinating things to see and do. Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, Refectory Church of St Sergius and Gefsimansky Chernigovsky Skit are just the start.
