With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy everything that Kolomna, 50 miles away, has to offer. Monument to L Type Steam Locomotive should be at the top of your to-do list here. Staro Golutvin Monastery and Kolomna Kremlin are interesting attractions too. Located 50 miles away, Tula is another popular option. If you stop by, make sure you check out Tula Kremlin, Tula Museum of Samovars and Yasnaya Polyana Museum-Estate of Leo Tolstoy.
