With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to explore all that Sergiyev Posad, 18 miles away, has to offer. See the best sights starting with Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, Refectory Church of St Sergius and Gefsimansky Chernigovsky Skit. Located 50 miles away, Klin is another place to aim for. If you visit, make sure you check out Tchaikovsky House Museum, Arkady Gaidar House Museum and Klin Podvorye, Christmas Tree Ornament Exhibit.
