The best part about having your own wheels is that you can go where you want, when you want. Make the most of your newfound freedom by exploring all there is to do in Ivanovo. It’s just 25 miles away. Among your first stops here ought to be Arcady Severny Monument, Ivanovsky Museum of Printed Cotton and Palekh Art Museum Gallery. The locals will also likely point you toward Kostroma, 40 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, make sure it’s Fire Tower. (But we’d also highly recommend Ivan Susanin Monument and Kostroma Regional Planetarium.)
