With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to explore everything that Chekhov, 20 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights beginning with Museum in Memory of 1941-1945, Lopasnya Zachatyevskoye Manor House and Museum and Chekhov Town Theater. The locals will also probably point you in the direction of Serpukhov, 25 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, let it be Serpukhov Music and Drama Theatre. (But we’re also huge fans of Vysotsky Monastery and Church of All Saints.)
