If you’re looking for a day-trip destination, we can help out. Situated 19 miles away, Taganrog is worth hopping in the car for. Among your first few stops here ought to be Chekhov House Museum, Taganrog Museum of Local Lore and Chekhov Literature Museum. The locals will also likely point you toward Rostov-on-Don, 35 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Olimp - 2. (But we’d also recommend Gorky Park and Don State Technical University.)
