    Where to stay

    Neighborhood guide

    Kaluga stands on the Oka river southwest of Moscow, with a preserved centre of merchant houses and neoclassical buildings on the bluff above the water. It is a compact provincial city with a substantial modern car-manufacturing sector on its outskirts.

    What to see

    Timed to the light

    The State Museum of the History of Cosmonautics is the city's outstanding attraction, the first museum of its kind anywhere, founded because Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, the theorist of spaceflight, lived and worked here. His house is preserved nearby, and the old town's churches and the riverside are the other draws.
