The Republic of Kazakhstan wins the hearts of tourists with endless steppes, golden domes of mosques, beautiful lakes and a combination of antiquity and modernity. The republic is located in the center of Eurasia, south of the Ural Mountains. Kazakhstan has many beautiful and interesting cities that must be visited.
Astana
Our list of the most beautiful cities in Kazakhstan opens with the capital city - Astana. This is an incredibly modern city that is undergoing very active construction. Luxurious hotels, mirrored skyscrapers, wide avenues and embankments that sink into the soul of every tourist. It should be noted that the city has become a major tourist center relatively recently, as well as the capital of Kazakhstan. In 1997, the city of Astana became the new capital of Kazakhstan, after which it turned from a small city into a large and beautiful capital. The symbol of the city is Baiterek. Astana is a relatively young city and therefore it will not be possible to find ancient monuments and structures here, all the sights of the city belong to the Soviet or modern period. Among the main attractions are the aforementioned 150-meter-high Bayterek Tower, the Palace of Peace and Reconciliation, the Duman Entertainment Center, which combines many entertainments, and another entertainment complex - Khan Shatyr.
Alma-Ata
Our list will continue with the largest city of the Republic and the former capital - Alma-Ata. It is this city that most clearly reflects the good economic condition of Kazakhstan. Here you can feel like in Europe - expensive shops, luxurious restaurants and wide streets filled with expensive cars. The visiting card of the city is the snow-capped mountains of the Zailiyskiy Alatau. Among the main attractions of the city, it is worth highlighting the Palace of the Republic and the Central State Museum located opposite. Also an interesting place is the Kok-Tobe mountain, from here a beautiful panorama of the city opens. The top of the mountain can be reached by cable car, which originates from the Palace of the Republic.
This concludes our humble review of the most beautiful cities in Kazakhstan. Of course, these are not the only places that can be visited in the Republic. You can also highlight Aktobe, Turkestan, the popular ski resort Chimbulak and the Baikonur Cosmodrome.
