With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to explore all that Serpukhov, 25 miles away, has to offer. Serpukhov Music and Drama Theatre, Vysotsky Monastery and Church of All Saints alone make the drive out worth it. Don’t forget about Kolomna either! Just 50 miles away, Monument to L Type Steam Locomotive, Staro Golutvin Monastery and Kolomna Kremlin are must-sees here.
