Transportation to Simferopol Airport from the City Center
Simferopol is the capital of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. Although the city has a very low population ratio, it has an important role in terms of industry, trade and agriculture. Simferopol welcomes its visitors at Simferopol International Airport. The airport is known as the only airport that provides international transportation services within Crimea. Lenin Square not only hosts many events, concerts and activities, it also constitutes the city center. It is possible to say that public transportation facilities are good in Simferopol.
Minibuses known as “Marshrutka” in Slavic countries provide transportation to almost every part of the city. In addition, you can also travel to many parts of the city by taking the advantage of buses and trolleybuses.
