With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience all that Suzdal, 16 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here should be Suzdal Kremlin, Saint Antipius and Saint Lazarus Churches and Monastery of Saint Euthymius. Don’t skip Vladimir either! Just 35 miles away, Vladimir Central Prison, Roman Catholic Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary of the Rosary and Golden Gates of Vladimir are essential stops here.
