Vologda has lots on offer. You could spend a good while here and still not see it all. To experience as much as possible in this busy metropolis, you’ll need a rental car. Keep in mind that driving around big cities usually comes with tight streets and limited parking spots. Don’t worry though, because a small car like a compact will make this a lot easier to manage. If you’re planning to head straight out of the city and take a look at the bays that Vologda is renowned for, you may prefer a car with more room. A full-size or mid-size SUV will make that scenic road trip even more fun.
