With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to explore all that Kolomna, 20 miles away, has to offer. Monument to L Type Steam Locomotive, Staro Golutvin Monastery and Kolomna Kremlin alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Don’t miss Chekhov either! Just 35 miles away, Museum in Memory of 1941-1945, Lopasnya Zachatyevskoye Manor House and Museum and Chekhov Town Theater are non-negotiable stops here.
