If you’re after a day-trip destination, we’ve got a couple of ideas. Sitting 18 miles away, Ivanovo is worth jumping in the car for. Soak up the sights beginning with Arcady Severny Monument, Ivanovsky Museum of Printed Cotton and Palekh Art Museum Gallery. Locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Kostroma, 35 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, make sure it’s Fire Tower. (But we’d also highly recommend Ivan Susanin Monument and Kostroma Regional Planetarium.)
