See what’s going on in nearby Ivanovo. What’s 19 miles when you’ve got your very own car? The drive itself is half the fun! Among your first stops here should be Arcady Severny Monument, Ivanovsky Museum of Printed Cotton and Palekh Art Museum Gallery. The locals will also probably point you in the direction of Yaroslavl, 40 miles away. If you only see one thing here, let it be Church of Elijah the Prophet. (But we’d also recommend Yaroslavl Zoo and Monument to Yaroslav the Wise.)
