With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy all that Klin, 35 miles away, has to offer. Tchaikovsky House Museum, Arkady Gaidar House Museum and Klin Podvorye, Christmas Tree Ornament Exhibit alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Locals will also probably point you in the direction of Sergiyev Posad, 45 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, let it be Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius. (But we’d also recommend Refectory Church of St Sergius and Gefsimansky Chernigovsky Skit.)
