With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience everything that Chekhov, 19 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. Situated 35 miles away, Serpukhov is another popular choice. If you drop by, don’t miss Serpukhov Music and Drama Theatre, Vysotsky Monastery and Church of All Saints.
