If you find yourself with a little extra time and you’re happy to travel 20 miles, take a look at Chekhov. This lively place boasts plenty of things to keep you busy. Museum in Memory of 1941-1945, Lopasnya Zachatyevskoye Manor House and Museum and Chekhov Town Theater alone justify the drive. The locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Serpukhov, 35 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, let it be Serpukhov Music and Drama Theatre. (But we’re also huge fans of Vysotsky Monastery and Church of All Saints.)
