  The Livadia Palace is a palace just outside of Yalta. Pros: This is where the Yalta Conference was held in 1945. You can see where history was made. It's a nice day out and it's a nice place to visit. Cons:If you visit this place in the summer, it can get hot. If you want to walk around outside, it's worth wearing comfortable shoes. In summary, if you're in Yalta. It's worth visiting the Livadia Palace. Where else can you visit which had such crucial importance on post-World War 2 Europe and the origins of the Cold War?

  This Palace is best known as the site of the Yalta Conference, but it was also the summer residence of Tsar Nicholas II. The lower floors of the Palace are dedicated to the Yalta Conference and the table where the leaders sat, the rooms they ate in and used are available to be seen. The upstairs is maintained as reminder that this was the Tsar’s residence. The site is well maintained with beautifully maintained grounds. There is a gift shop as you exit and they have a wide selection of items available. Washrooms are found on the premises. Our guide pointed out that during World War 2, the invading army removed most of what was there including wall coverings so what you are seeing is a restoration. The part this building played in World War 2 makes it worth the visit.

  The place reeked with history. The staff in the ornate gardens where rude and surly whe I wanted to take photographs. My interpreter told them they were not to behave in the old Soviet manner...they took great exception to this. Yalta reminds me of the South of France..

  If you are a history buff, you will love the place. You can touch the chairs where Churchill, Stalin and Roosevelt sat during the Yalta conference, see where the famous photo of them was taken and the room that was Roosevelt's bedroom. Very well maintained, especially for something in the Ukraine. Worth a visit if you are in the area and if you are looking for souvenirs they have good gift shop.

  This was a spectacular piece of architecture and very much worth a visit if you are into history or not .Full of beautiful pictures and amazing antiques from the history of the Ukraine and former USSR .I was lucky enough to be with my wife ,so I certainly learnt plenty as we made our way round the main house .The gardens were incredible and the views over Yalta on a hot summers day were something to behold .It will stay with you for a lifetime once you've seen them .A must if you love history or not !

  这个利瓦迪亚宫坐落在雅尔塔郊区，位置太好了在山顶面海绿树成荫。宫殿主要是介绍以前的国王还有就是著名的雅尔塔会议，里面装饰很不错非常值得参观，门票也很便宜。

  This is an exert from our travel blog, during a three week trip my husband and I took.If you like history this is a palace not to be missedThe Lavadia Palace; famous as the site of the Yalta Conference, a meeting between Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill in 1945 where they discussed the fate of Europe after the end of the war. The palace was originally owned by the Romanov Tzars until the outbreak of WW1 and was then, of course, put to other uses after the revolution in 1917 - in fact the bolsheviks turned the palace into retreat for peasants.avadia was finally turned into a museum with an exhibit focussed on the Yalta conference; then in the 1980s when Gorbachev visited he ordered that the museum also exhibit the history of the Romanovs. The result is that now the Yalta conference is shown on the ground floor and the Romanov exhibit is upstairs.The Yalta exhibit is a bit sparse; with the exception of the original conference table and chairs (which are excellent), the exhibit consists mostly of photographs and documents in display cases. Getting to stand with my hand on Churchill's chair was a real treat.Upstairs we got to see and hear about the life of the Romanovs - the displays had a lot of photos and documents but also a lot more furniture and artifacts.. Two things strike me when you see and how the Tzars lived in comparison to the rest of the country; the extreme state of luxury in which they existed, and second, how could they not see what was coming?

  Definately worth a visit. Walk where the Tsars and their families walked, see where Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill divided the world between them. The palace is meticuosly well kept. There are other fantastic palaces on Crimea, it was always a holiday retreat for the wealthy.

  I must admit, not being a history buff I knew little about the palace. Our guide had minimal English but explained as much as he could. I've now learnt a lot more about it and it really is a must see destination in Yalta. Its a magnificent building, well kept in lovely gardens and the view of the bay is amazing. A must for history lovers.
