If you’re looking for a day-trip destination, we’ve got a couple of tips. Located 50 miles away, Suzdal is worth getting in the car for. Among your first stops here ought to be Suzdal Kremlin, Saint Antipius and Saint Lazarus Churches and Monastery of Saint Euthymius. The locals will also likely point you toward Kostroma, 60 miles away. If you only see one thing here, let it be Fire Tower. (But we’d also recommend Ivan Susanin Monument and Kostroma Regional Planetarium.)
