With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up everything that Ivanovo, 40 miles away, has to offer. Arcady Severny Monument, Ivanovsky Museum of Printed Cotton and Palekh Art Museum Gallery alone make the drive out worth it. Don’t skip Kostroma either! Just 50 miles away, Fire Tower, Ivan Susanin Monument and Kostroma Regional Planetarium are must-sees here.
