With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience everything that Sergiyev Posad, 40 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here ought to be Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, Refectory Church of St Sergius and Gefsimansky Chernigovsky Skit. Located 40 miles away, Rostov is another popular tourist destination. If you drop by, make sure you check out Rostov Kremlin, Holy Trinity Monastery Varnickiy and Cathedral of the Assumption.
