About this place
Taganrog is the second largest city in Rostov Oblast, Russia, and a significant cultural destination as the birthplace of Anton Chekhov.

For travelers interested in Russian literature, Taganrog provides an intimate look at Chekhov's early life through several dedicated memorial museums and the historic gymnasium he attended. The city also serves as a quieter alternative to the larger regional hub of Rostov-on-the-Don.
