If you’re after day-trip inspiration, we can help out. Situated 35 miles away, Kolomna is worth hopping in the car for. Monument to L Type Steam Locomotive, Staro Golutvin Monastery and Kolomna Kremlin alone make the drive out worthwhile. Locals will also probably point you in the direction of Sergiyev Posad, 60 miles away. If you only see one thing here, make sure it’s Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius. (But we’re also huge fans of Refectory Church of St Sergius and Gefsimansky Chernigovsky Skit.)
