If you’re after a day-trip destination, we’ve got some suggestions. Sitting 25 miles away, Kolomna is worth getting in the car for. Monument to L Type Steam Locomotive, Staro Golutvin Monastery and Kolomna Kremlin alone make the drive out here worthwhile. The locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Serpukhov, 30 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, make sure it’s Serpukhov Music and Drama Theatre. (But we’re also big fans of Vysotsky Monastery and Church of All Saints.)
