If you find yourself with a little spare time and you’re happy to travel 16 miles, take a look at Serpukhov. This vibrant destination offers up plenty to keep you engaged. Among your first few stops here ought to be Serpukhov Music and Drama Theatre, Vysotsky Monastery and Church of All Saints. The locals are also likely to point you toward Kolomna, 40 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, make sure it’s Monument to L Type Steam Locomotive. (But we’d also highly recommend Staro Golutvin Monastery and Kolomna Kremlin.)
