What to visit in Almaty

During your trip to Almaty, you will be able to explore its most imposing buildings and characteristic markets for an overview of the country's most diverse sides. The colourful bazaars are perfect for admiring local handicrafts at first hand or sampling some of the local specialities. In addition to spices and candied fruit, apples are a local delicacy that should not be missed. In the local language, 'Almaty' means 'city of apples' because of the extensive cultivation of this fruit. Of the various bazaars to visit, the Green Bazar is one of the largest and most visited along with the Kok Bazar. There are also several religious buildings of different faiths that can be visited, such as the large Central Mosque or the Orthodox Cathedral of the Ascension, considered by most as one of the symbols of the city.

During your walk, don't forget to walk along the Zhybek Zoly boulevard, frequented by local artists and full of shops. Also worth visiting are the Kasteev Museum of Fine Arts and the Museum of Musical Instruments, the Abai Kazakh Opera House and the Panfilov Park. At the top of Kok Tobe Hill you can enjoy a splendid view of the city from above and enjoy the unspoilt nature of Kazakhstan. For a relaxing break, however, you could unwind at one of the many historic spas dotted around the area, such as the Arasan Spa. So many places to visit!
