    There are many places in the Moscow suburbs where you can get to in less than an hour and a half. For example, Melikhovo estate, where Russian writer Anton Chekhov lived and worked, or Chekhov town, where Lopasnya-Zachatyevskoye estate museum is located. A short one-day trip for lovers of small but interesting museums.
