What to do in Yalta?
It is better to move around the resort on foot or by trolleybus, on which you can get to the areas of Yalta and surrounding villages that interest you.
Want to see the city's most beautiful landmark? Head to the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral - a magnificent structure with exquisite portals, open galleries and a hipped porch (the cathedral is a striking representative of the neo-Russian style). You should definitely see an equally beautiful monument made in the Moorish style - the palace of the Emir of Bukhara.
Those who are not averse to wandering around museums on vacation should visit the Yalta Historical and Literary Museum and the Museum of Sculpture and Floristry.
One of the main entertainments of Yalta is a beach vacation: there are both public and small private beaches owned by hotels and sanatoriums. If you go to Central Beach, you will be delighted with the beach entertainment available here in the form of interesting attractions. And on Massandra Beach, which is located near the Central Beach, you can rent scuba gear, go water skiing or a scooter, or fly a hang glider. If you find yourself on this beach in the evening, the "Matrix" night club located here will open its doors for you.
For walking, the Lenin Embankment is ideal, next to which there are shops, entertainment centers and restaurants.
If you come on vacation to Yalta with children, go to the Skazka zoo so that together with them you can observe camels, zebras, tigers and pelicans. And the youngest visitors to the zoo will be able to ride a donkey.
If you wish, you can ride the cable car (you can admire the panorama of the city), which starts from the embankment and ends high in the mountains, at the top of Ai-Petri.
On vacation in Yalta, it is worth coming not only for the crystal clear sea, amazing climatic conditions, fabulous nature, but also for unique sights (Chekhov's house-museum, Swallow's Nest, palaces and estates, parks and gardens).
