Irbit
Spend a half‑day in Irbit to see the motorcycle museum and a quick walk to the State Museum of Fine Art; stay overnight only if you need a rest before the next leg.
Irbit is a small industrial town in Sverdlovsk Oblast, about 203 km by train from Yekaterinburg. Its main attractions are the State Motorcycle Museum, the State Museum of Fine Art and nearby ski‑hiking areas.
