If you have a bit of spare time and you don’t mind traveling 25 miles, check out Ivanovo. This lively place has plenty to see and do. Arcady Severny Monument, Ivanovsky Museum of Printed Cotton and Palekh Art Museum Gallery alone justify the drive. Yaroslavl is another wonderful option. It’s 40 miles away and offers an array of intriguing things to see and do. Church of Elijah the Prophet, Yaroslavl Zoo and Monument to Yaroslav the Wise are just the start.
