A grand Stalinist-era passenger terminal at the western edge of the city centre, with a long colonnaded façade, a tall clock tower, and an interior of marble pillars and chandeliers. The station has been Crimea's main rail gateway for seventy years; before 2014 sleepers from Kyiv, Moscow, and St. Petersburg pulled in here daily.
Service has shifted dramatically with the political situation since 2014, but the building remains worth a few minutes' look even if you are not catching a train. The grand hall faces a small plaza with a statue of Lenin, a few Soviet-era cafés, and a row of taxi drivers offering trips to Yalta and Sevastopol.
