"Almaty definitely has a very generous soul. Or better say people that live in Almaty are very generous, warm, and welcoming. The city has immaculate mountain views. Its old center with beautiful soviet architecture and lots of greenery is a true gem. There are so many nature masterpieces in 2-3 hours away from the city. Medeu is one of the best ice rinks I've ever seen. Food is delicious almost everywhere you go. Besides all this, there are good examples of modern architecture as well such as Esentai Mall. All major brands are well represented in the city. I definitely recommend visiting Almaty!"
"Amazing contemporary architecture all around the precinct, easy to walk to, probably would have looked even more beautiful showing green lawns, I was there when much covered in snow. Not tourist orientated re maps, managed by shear walking and working out mysel where things were to find the amazing national museum of the republic which is an absolute must see!!!!! Well worth the long haul from Australia to see this country! People are nice, cab drivers ok, lots of eateries, coffee shops etc, flew to Almaty also and dashed to Uzbekistan to visit Samarqand as well"
"You definitely need to get out and about in Aktau. There are so many beautiful and strange places to visit. The valley of the balls, bozhira, the bay etc.... As An astrophotographer, I've never seen clear night skies quite like it. Best views of the milky way I've ever seen (and i live on a mountain!). Swimming on the beach was lovely, calm and warm without issues. Random camels walking around just complete the experience. We did a few days overlanding and then a few days at the Rixos for some well deserved all-inclusive luxury. Didn't spend much time in "town" we weren't there for that."
"Lovely city with friendly people. Lots of cafes, restaurants, and ice cream vendors. It is very hot in summer, but the city is fool of parks and boulevards with trees. It is a great place to explore the south of Kazakhstan, Turkestan is 3 hours away in train."

"This is a holy site for Kazakhs and Muslims in the region. The Xodzha Yassawi Mosaleum was incredibly beautiful and the area around it has been nicely developed into a modern area. Beyond the Mosaleum, a new area has been built since the city became the regional capital in 2018, with many new shopping malls, hotels, and restaurants. The old town is also very charming and has many cheap, delicious restaurants. Highly recommend!"
"Karagandy has plenty of interesting sites, especially for those interested in history. On this trip, I rented a car and drove to Karkaraly National Park, which is very beautiful; I hope to go back, but I will find a guide, as there are no trail markings anywhere!"
Kazakhstan is full of barren beauty. With countryside as far as the eye can see, it’s somewhere those seeking isolation can feel in their element. Situated at the foothills of the Trans-Ili Alatau mountains, Almaty is the largest city and home to chic shopping centres, vibrant nightlife and innovative architecture. There’s also a healthy dose of museums and parks, with scenic hikes and skiing available in the adjacent mountains. The capital city of Astana has been transformed by a surge in modern design, such as the futuristic structure of Baiterek Tower (nicknamed ‘Chupa Chups’ due to its likeness to a lollipop). Other notable monuments include the eye-opening Khan Shatyr, Palace of Peace & Reconciliation, and the National Museum. Across the vast landscapes, you’ll also discover Caspian beaches, awe-inspiring alpine scenery in Altai and the ancient cities of the Kazakh Desert. The bulk of accommodation is found in the two largest cities of Astana and Almaty, with choices ranging from hotels, hostels, apartments and guest houses. A variety of campsites and holiday parks can be found in the more rural areas, such as Aqtöbe and Borovoye.

Best hotel in my whole travel of the country. Room was spacious, clean, sound proof and good. The smart tv was actually working and didn't buffer while we watched a movie. Location wise also good you will be able to see local life if you roam around a bit.
Bathroom had all amenities and clean. You can also purchase souvenir near the reception area and prices are reasonable got a ship from them.
