With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience all that Sergiyev Posad, 50 miles away, has to offer. See the sights beginning with Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, Refectory Church of St Sergius and Gefsimansky Chernigovsky Skit. Kolomna is another popular option. It’s 50 miles away and home to a variety of interesting things to do. Monument to L Type Steam Locomotive, Staro Golutvin Monastery and Kolomna Kremlin are just the start.
