With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy all that Novocherkassk, 20 miles away, has to offer. Among the first stops you make here should be Don Theatre of Drama and Comedy V.F. Komissarzhevskaya, Novocherkassk Museum of the History of Don Cossacks and Ascension Cathedral. Don’t skip Rostov-on-Don either! Just 40 miles away, Olimp - 2, Gorky Park and Don State Technical University are essential stops here.
