If you’re searching for a day-trip destination, we can help out. Located 25 miles away, Tula is worth getting in the car for. Tula Kremlin, Tula Museum of Samovars and Yasnaya Polyana Museum-Estate of Leo Tolstoy alone justify the drive out here. Locals will also probably point you in the direction of Kaluga, 35 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Kaluga XXI Century. (But we’re also huge fans of Tsiolkovsky State Museum of Cosmonautics History and Tsiolkovsky Memorial House Museum.)
