With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore everything that Ivanovo, 55 miles away, has to offer. Arcady Severny Monument should be at the top of your to-do list here. Ivanovsky Museum of Printed Cotton and Palekh Art Museum Gallery are fantastic attractions too. Locals will also probably point you toward Kostroma, 55 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, make sure it’s Fire Tower. (But we’re also huge fans of Ivan Susanin Monument and Kostroma Regional Planetarium.)
