If you have a bit of extra time and you’re happy to travel 20 miles, check out Chekhov. This happening destination has plenty to keep you busy. Among your first stops here ought to be Museum in Memory of 1941-1945, Lopasnya Zachatyevskoye Manor House and Museum and Chekhov Town Theater. The locals will also likely point you in the direction of Serpukhov, 30 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, let it be Serpukhov Music and Drama Theatre. (But we’re also big fans of Vysotsky Monastery and Church of All Saints.)
