Observation decks of Simferopol. List of the best observation decks in Simferopol
Observation decks of Simferopol
The available observation decks of Simferopol offer vacationers to explore from an unusual angle the historical center, a 500-year-old oak “Bogatyr of Tavrida”, the former house of Taranov-Belozerov (today it is a medical school named after Ulyanov), the temple of Alexander Nevsky. It is worth taking into account: due to the different heights of the observation platforms, from some of them the whole Simferopol will appear in front of you, at a glance, and from others - only a small part of it.
Naples Scythian
It is located on the top of Petrovskaya Gorka, so from here you will be able to admire the city and its outskirts (due to the rather high rocks, you should be careful; this viewpoint is one of the best).
Since the territory of Scythian Naples is a historical and archaeological reserve, on a part of this territory excursions are organized for those who wish, during which they can see, for example, a public building with columns and the tomb of King Skilur. Information about the cost of visiting: an adult ticket costs 70 rubles, and a child ticket costs 20 rubles; You can visit the reserve for free on Tuesdays (from 16:00 to 18:00) and Saturdays (from noon to 16:00).
How to get there? (address: Archeologicheskaya street, 1): minibus number 4 leaves from the railway station; from the bus station shuttle bus number 85 runs; minibuses No. 85, 4, 24 depart from the center. Your stop is the final one: “Tarabukina street”.
Observation deck on Marshal Zhukov street
Having reached the final stop along this street, you can see the views that open from here, but you will have to wander a little in search of a suitable place for this, so that the houses do not obstruct the areas for viewing.
Mate Zalka street
Climbing to the very top of the street (a series of apartment buildings ends here), you will see a panoramic view of the central part of Simferopol (here it is best to admire the fireworks).
Petrovskaya Balka
You will be able to find the observation deck by taking minibuses No. 85, 24, 4, 108 to the place until the vehicle turns from Krylova Street to Petrovskaya - after getting out there, you need to walk up the street. Another option is to go around Petrovskaya Balka on the other side, then walk a couple of hundred meters until the houses practically cease to meet, and so you will come out to the observation deck.
Ferris wheel in the Children's Park
This attraction allows guests to explore the city's beauty (a ticket for the attraction is sold for 100 rubles). In addition, the Children's Park is worth a visit to the zoo, which is home to at least 300 animals. Address: Kirov Avenue, 51.
Mound of Glory “Star”
Since it is located at an altitude of more than 800 m above sea level, then those who come here will have something to admire (it is not difficult to get here - the desired object is located near the village of Opushka).
