If you’re after day-trip inspiration, we’ve got some suggestions. Located 20 miles away, Taganrog is worth hopping in the car for. Chekhov House Museum, Taganrog Museum of Local Lore and Chekhov Literature Museum alone justify the drive out here. The locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Rostov-on-Don, 50 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Olimp - 2. (But we’re also huge fans of Gorky Park and Don State Technical University.)
