With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up all that Yaroslavl, 19 miles away, has to offer. Church of Elijah the Prophet should be at the top of your to-do list here. Yaroslavl Zoo and Monument to Yaroslav the Wise are interesting attractions too. Don’t miss Kostroma either! Just 20 miles away, Fire Tower, Ivan Susanin Monument and Kostroma Regional Planetarium are essential stops here.
