If you’re looking for a day-trip destination, we’ve got a couple of tips. Situated 45 miles away, Kostroma is worth hopping in the car for. See the best sights starting with Fire Tower, Ivan Susanin Monument and Kostroma Regional Planetarium. The locals will also probably point you toward Ivanovo, 50 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, make sure it’s Arcady Severny Monument. (But we’d also recommend Ivanovsky Museum of Printed Cotton and Palekh Art Museum Gallery.)
