Besides shopping around, you must certainly visit various sites. They are mainly Russian traditional architecture, ethnography, and art. You can cover most of them in just a couple of days, so don't miss the Ivanovo Wooden Church, Museum of the Local Lore, Printed Cotton Museum, and the Soviet Car Industry museum.
