Livadia Palace, the former summer residence of Tsar Nicholas II and a key site of the 1945 Yalta Conference, is a prominent historical attraction easily accessible by public transport or taxi from nearby Yalta. Visitors can explore the palace either solo with an audio guide or join guided tours to gain deeper historical insights, with typical visits lasting 2-3 hours to fully appreciate the imperial apartments, the famous White Hall, and the immediate palace grounds. While generally open year-round, peak season from May to September offers the best weather for exploring the extensive Livadia Park and its scenic 'Sun Path,' though winter visits are also possible, albeit with potentially shorter operating hours and fewer outdoor activities. Entry fees are moderate, typically a few hundred Russian Rubles, making it an affordable historical excursion.
