With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy all that Ivanovo, 30 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here ought to be Arcady Severny Monument, Ivanovsky Museum of Printed Cotton and Palekh Art Museum Gallery. Don’t miss Kostroma either! Just 60 miles away, Fire Tower, Ivan Susanin Monument and Kostroma Regional Planetarium are essential stops here.
