With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience everything that Kostroma, 18 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here should be Fire Tower, Ivan Susanin Monument and Kostroma Regional Planetarium. Situated 40 miles away, Ivanovo is another popular destination. If you swing by, be sure to check out Arcady Severny Monument, Ivanovsky Museum of Printed Cotton and Palekh Art Museum Gallery.
