With some great road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy all that Pyatigorsk, 30 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here should be Lermontov State Museum, Drinking Gallery and Proval Park. Don’t forget about Yessentuki either! Just 35 miles away, Concert Hall Chaliapin, Yessentuki City History Museum and Park Pobedy are must-sees here.
