If you have a spare day or two and you’re willing to travel 20 miles, take a look at Ivanovo. This vibrant destination offers up loads of things to keep you entertained. Arcady Severny Monument, Ivanovsky Museum of Printed Cotton and Palekh Art Museum Gallery alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Locals will also probably point you in the direction of Kostroma, 55 miles away. If you only see one thing here, make sure it’s Fire Tower. (But we’d also highly recommend Ivan Susanin Monument and Kostroma Regional Planetarium.)
