If you find yourself with a little extra time and you’re happy to travel 30 miles, check out Tula. This lively place boasts plenty to keep you engaged. Among your first stops here ought to be Tula Kremlin, Tula Museum of Samovars and Yasnaya Polyana Museum-Estate of Leo Tolstoy. The locals are also likely to point you toward Serpukhov, 50 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, let it be Serpukhov Music and Drama Theatre. (But we’re also big fans of Vysotsky Monastery and Church of All Saints.)
