How to get to Yalta by train

There is no railway or railway station in Yalta, but it will not be difficult to come here on vacation by train on your own. To do this, you need to get to the nearest railway station in Simferopol, and from there the resort is easily accessible by taxi, bus or trolleybus. To get to Yalta by train, you can also first get to Simferopol from other cities of the Crimea, but there is no great point in this method, since it is easier to immediately take the bus and get to Yalta.

Trains run to Simferopol from Moscow, St. Petersburg and a large number of cities and regions of the Russian Federation, many additional flights are launched in summer during the high tourist season. Because of the sanctions, the main Russian carrier RZD does not operate flights to Crimea, and therefore you need to search and buy tickets not on the RZD website, but on tutu.ru or on the company carrier's website Grand Service Express.
