If you’re after day-trip inspiration, we’ve got some ideas. Situated 30 miles away, Taganrog is worth getting in the car for. Among your first stops here ought to be Chekhov House Museum, Taganrog Museum of Local Lore and Chekhov Literature Museum. The locals are also likely to point you toward Rostov-on-Don, 35 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, make sure it’s Olimp - 2. (But we’re also huge fans of Gorky Park and Don State Technical University.)
