Serpukhov

Spend a half‑day in Serpukhov to see the Red Hill Kremlin remains and one monastery; a full day if you want to visit both monasteries.

Serpukhov is a small historic town 97 km south of Moscow with a few preserved monuments. One day covers the main sights; extra time is only needed for deeper monastery visits.
