Discover the delights of nearby Kaluga. What’s 30 miles when you’ve got your own rental car? The drive there is half the fun! Kaluga XXI Century, Tsiolkovsky State Museum of Cosmonautics History and Tsiolkovsky Memorial House Museum alone justify the drive. Locals will also probably point you in the direction of Serpukhov, 40 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, let it be Serpukhov Music and Drama Theatre. (But we’re also big fans of Vysotsky Monastery and Church of All Saints.)
