If you’re searching for day-trip inspiration, we’ve got a couple of ideas. Located 17 miles away, Novocherkassk is worth getting in the car for. Soak up the sights starting with Don Theatre of Drama and Comedy V.F. Komissarzhevskaya, Novocherkassk Museum of the History of Don Cossacks and Ascension Cathedral. Locals will also likely point you in the direction of Rostov-on-Don, 25 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Olimp - 2. (But we’d also recommend Gorky Park and Don State Technical University.)
