If you have a bit of spare time and you’re willing to travel 50 miles, take a look at Ivanovo. This vibrant destination boasts plenty of things to keep you occupied. Explore the area starting with Arcady Severny Monument, Ivanovsky Museum of Printed Cotton and Palekh Art Museum Gallery. The locals will also probably point you toward Kostroma, 50 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, let it be Fire Tower. (But we’d also highly recommend Ivan Susanin Monument and Kostroma Regional Planetarium.)
