With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to enjoy everything that Ivanovo, 20 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights starting with Arcady Severny Monument, Ivanovsky Museum of Printed Cotton and Palekh Art Museum Gallery. Kostroma is another popular destination. It’s 50 miles away and offers an array of fascinating things to do. Fire Tower, Ivan Susanin Monument and Kostroma Regional Planetarium are just the start.
