If you’re after day-trip inspiration, we’ve got a couple of suggestions. Sitting 19 miles away, Kislovodsk is worth jumping in the car for. Yaroshenko Memorial House Museum, Dacha Chaliapin Historical and Cultural Museum and Kislovodsk Dolphinarium alone make the drive out worth it. The locals will also likely point you toward Nalchik, 50 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, make sure it’s Kovrik Nalchik Municipal Drama Theater. (But we’d also recommend Spartak Stadium and State Republican Music Theater of Kabardino-Balkar Republic.)
