Introducing Simferopol
For many people, the Crimean capital is nothing but a night-time blur outside the taxi window as they race from the airport to the coast. Others only glimpse the city as they transfer from the train station to the trolleybus.

Neither group is missing much, aesthetically speaking. In contrast to the superficial, seasonal, merry-go-round of Yalta, Simferopol is a working city that marches on throughout the year. With more reasonable prices than at the seaside, you can save yourself a little money, give yourself a breather and sample some interesting restaurants by spending at least one or two nights here.
