With some terrific 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 Yaroslavl, 40 miles away, has to offer. See the sights beginning with Church of Elijah the Prophet, Yaroslavl Zoo and Monument to Yaroslav the Wise. Located 45 miles away, Uglich is another popular tourist destination. If you swing by, don’t miss Doll Museum, Church of St John Chrysostom Nativity and Museum of the History of Russian Vodka.
