With some awesome road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience all that Serpukhov, 60 miles away, has to offer. Serpukhov Music and Drama Theatre, Vysotsky Monastery and Church of All Saints alone make the drive out worthwhile. Tula is another great option. It’s 60 miles away and home to a variety of fascinating things to do. Tula Kremlin, Tula Museum of Samovars and Yasnaya Polyana Museum-Estate of Leo Tolstoy are only the start.
