With some terrific 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 enjoy all that Bryansk, 30 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights starting with Park Museum of AK Tolstoy, Bryansk Machine Building Factory National Museum and Bryansk Drama Theatre. Don’t skip Oryol either! Just 55 miles away, Russian Style Municipal Theater, Orel Puppet Theater and Turgenev Literature Museum are must-sees here.
