Chekhov
Chekhov is named in honour of Anton Chekhov who lived at an estate just outside of the city, but the city of Chekhov also has a link with Pushkin, whose family lived at the city's Lopasnya-Zachatievskoe Estate. Any trip to Chekhov should of course include a visit to Anton Chekhov's Melikhovo Estate, but also just outside the city is the beautiful Voznesenskaya Davidova Hermitage. Chekhov can easily be visited as a day trip from Moscow.
