Lipetsk

Lipetsk is worth a brief stop on a Moscow‑to‑Southern Russia road trip: one day (≈5‑8 h drive) or an overnight if you need a rest.

Lipetsk is a mid‑size industrial city with limited tourist attractions. It serves well as a convenient stopover on a road or train journey between Moscow and Southern Russia, or for a quick business‑trip weekend.
