With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up everything that Chekhov, 20 miles away, has to offer. See the sights beginning with Museum in Memory of 1941-1945, Lopasnya Zachatyevskoye Manor House and Museum and Chekhov Town Theater. Locals will also likely point you in the direction of Serpukhov, 35 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, make sure it’s Serpukhov Music and Drama Theatre. (But we’d also recommend Vysotsky Monastery and Church of All Saints.)
