With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up everything that Chekhov, 55 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here ought to be Museum in Memory of 1941-1945, Lopasnya Zachatyevskoye Manor House and Museum and Chekhov Town Theater. Locals will also probably point you in the direction of Klin, 55 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Tchaikovsky House Museum. (But we’re also huge fans of Arkady Gaidar House Museum and Klin Podvorye, Christmas Tree Ornament Exhibit.)
