Kebi-Djami Mosque
A young city, founded in the 18th century under Russia’s Catherine the Great, Simferopol contains no must-sees. Remnants do survive, however, of earlier civilisations on the same site. The most interesting is the restored 16th-century Kebi-Djami mosque, which dates back to the Crimean Tatar town of Ak-Mechet (White Mosque).

Neopolis
There’s little sense of history about the much-touted Neopolis, 2km east of the centre. However, it offers a good view of Simferopol in all its Soviet-constructivist glory, should you be tempted by such things. Archaeological excavations of a late Scythian city (300 BC–AD 300) seem to have been abandoned.

Crimean Ethnographic Museum
The memorable thing about the modest Crimean Ethnographic Museum is its first room. It boasts a 3-D relief map of Crimea, populated with nearly 50 colourful small statues representing the peninsula’s different peoples throughout history.
