With some great road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to explore everything that Ivanovo, 20 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here should be Arcady Severny Monument, Ivanovsky Museum of Printed Cotton and Palekh Art Museum Gallery. Don’t miss Kostroma either! Just 55 miles away, Fire Tower, Ivan Susanin Monument and Kostroma Regional Planetarium are non-negotiable stops here.
