Until 2014, trains from Moscow and various cities of Ukraine went to the Sevastopol train station. For five years now, only electric trains from neighboring Simferopol have been walking to him. In addition, the bus station and seaport can be attributed to the stations of Sevastopol. Let us analyze the properties of each of them below.
If traveling by train
The first station of Sevastopol appeared in 1875. He was badly damaged during the Second World War, so in 1950 a modern building was opened. First, a monument to Stalin stood in front of him, and after the dismantling, a fountain was built. In 2014, railway communication with Ukraine and Moscow through its territory ceased. Since then, the “single ticket” system has started to operate with Russia, that is, by bus from Sevastopol to the ferry across the Kerch Strait, and then by ferry to the Taman Peninsula and the same bus to Krasnodar, where you can catch trains to different cities of Russia.
Interestingly, the railway in front of it contains six tunnels, of which two are in the city. You can admire these tunnels from the train window, which leaves from Sevastopol station four times a day. Therefore, you can choose a convenient time. The current schedule of the Sevastopol station is as follows:
- 05:20.
- 08:30.
- 12:20.
- 17:50.
The trip to Simferopol takes 1 hour and 50 minutes. A ticket costs 118 rubles. The distance between cities is 80 kilometers. Consequently, the tariff is 1.5 rubles per kilometer. It is more expensive than tariffs in Ukraine and Belarus.
In the opposite direction, from Simferopol to Sevastopol, commuter trains depart according to this schedule:
- 05:25.
- 08:30.
- 3 p.m.
- 17:50.
Since 2014, electric trains in the Crimea belong to the Crimean Railway as part of Roszheldor, and before that they were part of the Dnieper Railway of Ukraine.

Seaport of Sevastopol
The city is seaside, so it has a port where boats go. It is located next to Nakhimov Square. The schedule of the seaport in Sevastopol is as follows:
- The ferry between Northern Bay and Artbukhta runs from 07:30 to 19:00.
- Boats on the route "City - North" go from 5 am to midnight.
- Boats between Artbukhta and Radiogorka run from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.
