With some terrific road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to explore everything that Chekhov, 30 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here should be Museum in Memory of 1941-1945, Lopasnya Zachatyevskoye Manor House and Museum and Chekhov Town Theater. Located 30 miles away, Serpukhov is another popular choice. If you drop by, be sure to check out Serpukhov Music and Drama Theatre, Vysotsky Monastery and Church of All Saints.
