The capital of Kazakhstan pleases travelers with beautiful embankments, wide avenues and architectural ensembles, as well as holding international exhibitions, musical events and festivals.
Baiterek
The 105-meter building is famous for its glass ball (changes color depending on the sunlight), the diameter of which is 22 m. The underground floors are interesting for guests of art galleries, cafes and aquariums, and the upper level is for a bar and a panoramic hall (having climbed here on one of the observation elevators, you can not only enjoy the local beauties from above, but also make a wish by putting your hand to the mold of the Kazakh president's palm and examine the unique globe). For visiting this attraction, adults will pay 500 tenge.

Residence of the President "Akorda"
You can get here as part of an excursion group to admire the interior of the internal halls in the form of works of art and crystal chandeliers. Of interest is the 3rd floor of the residence, which is famous for its Golden (meetings and negotiations with the participation of the President of Kazakhstan are organized here), Marble (here documents are signed and credentials are handed over), Vostochny (is a yurt, in the decoration of which granite and marble were used) and other halls. No less interesting is the adjacent territory with a fountain and an alley where flower beds are planted.
Nur Astana Mosque
Guests of Astana will see this mosque with four 62-meter minarets and a gilded dome from afar (glass, steel, granite and concrete were used in its construction). It is worth noting that a fragment of Kiswa (a traditional black silk coverlet; embroidered with gold threads) is kept here.
