With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience everything that Rostov-on-Don, 30 miles away, has to offer. Explore the area beginning with Olimp - 2, Gorky Park and Don State Technical University. Don’t forget about Novocherkassk either! Just 30 miles away, Don Theatre of Drama and Comedy V.F. Komissarzhevskaya, Novocherkassk Museum of the History of Don Cossacks and Ascension Cathedral are must-sees here.
