If you have a little extra time and you’re willing to travel 25 miles, take a look at Rostov. This vibrant destination boasts a world of things to keep you busy. See the best sights starting with Rostov Kremlin, Holy Trinity Monastery Varnickiy and Cathedral of the Assumption. The locals are also likely to point you toward Ivanovo, 35 miles away. If you only see one thing here, let it be Arcady Severny Monument. (But we’re also big fans of Ivanovsky Museum of Printed Cotton and Palekh Art Museum Gallery.)
