With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to enjoy all that Kolomna, 55 miles away, has to offer. Monument to L Type Steam Locomotive, Staro Golutvin Monastery and Kolomna Kremlin alone justify the drive. Located 60 miles away, Kaluga is another place to aim for. If you drop by, make sure you check out Kaluga XXI Century, Tsiolkovsky State Museum of Cosmonautics History and Tsiolkovsky Memorial House Museum.
