With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up all that Kolomna, 50 miles away, has to offer. Monument to L Type Steam Locomotive ought to be at the top of your list here. Staro Golutvin Monastery and Kolomna Kremlin are awesome attractions too. Situated 50 miles away, Tula is another popular option. If you swing by, make sure you check out Tula Kremlin, Tula Museum of Samovars and Yasnaya Polyana Museum-Estate of Leo Tolstoy.
