With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to explore everything that Ivanovo, 25 miles away, has to offer. Arcady Severny Monument, Ivanovsky Museum of Printed Cotton and Palekh Art Museum Gallery alone make the drive out worthwhile. Located 50 miles away, Kostroma is another popular choice. If you stop by, don’t miss Fire Tower, Ivan Susanin Monument and Kostroma Regional Planetarium.
