Big Yalta has so many attractions that probably a lifetime would not be enough to see them all. After all, to Big Yalta include the villages of Livadia, Miskhor, Gaspra, Foros, Simeiz, Koreiz, Nikita, Ai-Danil, Gurzuf, Partenit, the city of Alupka... This is quite a large area!
If you go to Gurzuf, you should definitely go to the Pushkin Museum, see Chekhov's "White Dacha", visit the Korovin House of Creativity, not to mention the amazing natural attractions.
In Livadia you can visit not only the Livadia Palace itself - the residence of the last Russian Tsar, and the adjacent park, but also see the recently opened monument in honor of the Yalta Conference of 1945 - the figures of the leaders of the "Big Three" Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill, as well as go to the museum of artist Mikhail Pugovkin.
In Miskhor and Simeiz you can see centuries-old trees and tropical plants in parks - monuments of landscape gardening art. Well, in Nikita - the pearl of the South Coast, visit the botanical garden, which delights visitors with exotic flowers and unique trees.
You can climb to the top of Mount Ai-Petri, see the waterfalls and see the whole of Yalta in full view, from above from the cable car.
And Alupka, with its Gothic Vorontsov Palace and magnificent garden, will captivate even the most spoiled tourist.
To be in Yalta and not visit the Swallow's Nest castle means not to see Yalta, because this original building is a visiting card South Bank Crimea.
But even without leaving Yalta, that is, in the city itself you can see a lot of interesting things. Even just walking around the city, it is impossible not to come across some memorable place or attraction. Monuments to the poetess Lesya Ukrainka (on Ekaterininskaya Street), Pushkin and film industrialist Alexander Khanzhonkov (on Pushkinskaya Street), writer and screenwriter Yulian Semenov (at the Oreanda Hotel), the composition “The Lady with the Dog and Chekhov” (on the Embankment).
And how many famous people lived here - you can just walk around the city and study the places where great or popular writers, actors, singers lived!..
You should definitely go to the Chekhov Theater.
This is an ancient, restored, magnificent building with a cozy hall, with traditions, just a Mecca for all theatergoers. The Yalta Theater, unfortunately, does not have its own troupe, but groups from famous theaters in Moscow, theaters in Sevastopol and Simferopol, popular actors and musicians constantly tour here. International competitions and festivals are held here, including the famous "Theatre. Chekhov. Yalta", "Theatre. Debut. Yalta" and
"Folk without borders" The theater is located in the very center of the Embankment, very beautiful place, the hall is almost never empty, and during the season there are performances or concerts every day. Ticket prices start from 150 rubles.
Concerts of stars - performances by pop singers, KVNs, are held in Yalta in the Yubileiny concert hall, which is located near the Chekhov Theater, in Chernomorsky Lane.
Fans of Russian literature will be very interested in visiting Chekhov's house - a favorite place for fans of Anton Pavlovich. Chekhov was in love with Crimea and spent his last years lived in Yalta, wrote many stories and plays here. The museum is located in a picturesque garden; the house itself has nine rooms that can be visited by tourists. Conferences, exhibitions, concerts, Chekhov readings, and musical evenings are held here.
The museum is open every day except Monday and Tuesday, and is closed only on Mondays in the summer. Opening hours from 10.00 to 17.00. On Wednesdays the museum is open until 20.00. The museum is located at Kirova, 112, you can walk to it from the city center, but it is better to get there by transport - by trolleybus No. 1 to the Pionerskaya stop or by bus No. 8 to the Chekhov House Museum stop.
If you come to Yalta with children, then you will not be bored. There is a lot of entertainment for children in Yalta and there is also something to see.
A trip to the famous Glade of Fairy Tales will probably take you the whole day, and then you will want to come back here more than once. This is a unique museum of fairy tales under open air at the foot of Stavri-Kai, where you can visit the living Baba Yaga, visit the kingdom of crooked mirrors, meet many fairy-tale characters, and watch cartoons. "Glade of Fairy Tales" is open seven days a week, from 9.00 to 17.30. Travel by buses No. 115/26, 102/27 (from the Bus Station to the Polyana Skazok stop)
and minibus No. 24 (from the Spartak stop to the final one)
Ticket prices:
adult (children from 12 years old) - 200 rub.
children (from 6 to 11 years old) - 100 rubles.
children under 6 years old - free.
You can also visit the “Sea Aquarium” and the theater of marine animals “Aquatoria” with children, but personally I think that this is a dubious pleasure. Animals should live in their natural habitat, in wildlife, and not tumble around in chlorinated water for the public.
But the famous Yalta Zoo "Fairy Tale" is probably worth a visit. This is not at all like a prison for animals; it is a place where animals live in conditions close to natural. They really love animals here, they take care of them, investing their soul and energy, it is allowed to feed the animals here, and on the “Granny’s Yard” you can even communicate with our little brothers in close proximity, because this part is the so-called petting zoo. You can get to Skazka by minibuses No. 24, 115, 102. In summer, the zoo is open from 9.00 to 20.00, in winter: from 9.00 to 17.00. Ticket price: Adult - 500 rubles, children - 250 rubles.
In short, in Yalta there is always something interesting to do for both adults and children. You won’t get bored here at any time of the year!

When you come to Yalta on vacation, you can, of course, spend your entire vacation on the beach. However, this would simply be blasphemy to local attractions. What to see in Yalta? By the way, Big Yalta is not just a city, but rather a general name that combines a number of cities and towns on the southern coast of Crimea. These are Massandra, Livadia, Oreanda, Gurzuf, Miskhor, Gaspra, Koreiz, Alupka, Simeiz, Foros. I present to your attention a hit parade of places that you can’t ignore while in Crimea:
- Bird home. I propose to unconditionally give the palm to the mysterious castle on the cliff. "Swallow's Nest" is the number one object of tourist attention in Ukraine. It's no joke, a real medieval knight's castle is located on a steep cliff, rising 40 meters above the sea. On the territory of the castle there is a restaurant where you can dine while admiring the panorama of the Black Sea. You can get to Swallow's Nest by bus from the Yalta bus station, or by pleasure boat from one of the piers.
- Small rolling road. From the very center of Yalta you can climb Darsan Hill in cozy carriages of a small cable car. Little trip It won’t take much time, but it will allow you to admire the beautiful views of the resort town and the ships scurrying in the Black Sea.
- Big cable car "Miskhor-Ai-Petri". The cable car, which is almost 3 kilometers long, will take you to a height of 1153 meters above the level in 15 minutes with one transfer. The view of the entire Black Sea coast of Crimea will certainly not leave anyone indifferent. You can have lunch on the open terrace of the restaurant, which is located right next to the cable car. Delicious barbecue and wine accompanied by amazing scenery, what could be better? It can be windy at the top, so be sure to bring a windbreaker. If you are planning to ride the big cable car, please be patient; there may be a long line at the ticket office. You can go down from Mount Ai-Petri by minibus or taxi. The Ai-Petrinskaya highway is an entertaining serpentine road, and as one Yalta driver claimed, it makes 101 turns of 180 degrees.
- Nikitsky Botanical Garden. The botanical garden is a well-groomed area filled with many different exotic plants and rare relict trees, and is divided into upper and lower park. The cactus greenhouse deserves special attention and bamboo grove. In addition, seasonal exhibitions and expositions are held in the park. This place is ideal for collecting herbarium photos with children.
- Massandra. To visit Crimea and not see with your own eyes the heart of Crimean winemaking, Massandra, would be simply blasphemy. Today, the tasting complex of the Massandra enterprise, known far beyond the borders of Ukraine, has opened its doors to everyone, offering a fascinating tour of the winery, a visit to the cellar gallery, an introduction to the wine-making process and, of course, tasting. While in Massandra, do not forget to visit the palace of Emperor Alexander III, it is quite remarkable for its architecture. Now there is a museum on the palace grounds, and enthusiastic guides willingly lead tours of the former imperial chambers.
- Zoo and Museum "Glade of Fairy Tales" If you are traveling with children, check out the largest zoo on the coast, "Skazka"; it is located at the foot of the Stavri-Kaya mountain and is adjacent to an interesting open-air museum. In the open clearing there are sculptures of familiar fairy tale characters from childhood. The museum is called “Glade of Fairy Tales”.
- Trolleybus line Yalta-Sevastopol. Have you ever ridden an intercity trolleybus? If not, then be sure to take a ride along the world's longest trolleybus route from Yalta to Simferopol. Although the length of the route is more than 70 kilometers, it is difficult to get bored along the way. The pictures changing outside the window along the mountain line are pleasing to the eye.
- Cave cities. On the inner ridge of the Crimean Mountains there are 14 medieval cave cities. The most popular among tourists are Chufut Kale, Mangup Kale and Eski-Kermen. Each of them is beautiful in its own way, but from the point of view of entertainment, Eski-Kermen is the leader. This ancient city extremely unusual; the pit-earth storage system preserved from ancient times gives the impression of unreality. By the way, it was here that one of the episodes of Fedr Bondarchuk’s film “9th Company” was filmed.
I'll stop there. Of course, everyone who has visited Crimea will definitely find something to add to the above list, because this is a fertile region for tourists, where there is entertainment for every taste. All you have to do is choose the most attractive sites to visit and decide to join an excursion or sightsee on your own.
