Chekhov Literary and Art Museum
Step into the Chekhov Literary and Art Museum as it opens. The 1954 building houses items from Chekhov’s everyday life and a facsimile of his book Sakhalin Island. It is a quiet start to the day.
11:00
Walk just one minute to Stolovaya Sovyetskaya for lunch. This Soviet-era canteen was renovated in 2014 but keeps its original character with posters on the walls and era music playing. It is a simple, affordable meal.
11:30
Take a nine-minute walk west-southwest to сквер Асахикава. This small square offers a moment of green space and quiet reflection close to the museum and canteen.
Local tip
