ALMATY
This city is called a Southern capital of Kazakhstan or a garden-city. Both names are justified: Almaty used to be the capital of the state from 1929 to 1997. In spring, the city looks like a fairy place, covered in bloom of numerous fruit trees, making it unique and exquisite.

Almaty is also considered the cultural center of the country. It has over 270 cultural organizations: theaters, concert halls, museums, philharmonics, orchestra halls, etc. Visitors also will easily find outdoor activities for any taste: skiing and skating in winter recreation parks, hot air balloon riding, panoramic tram rides, rock climbing or simply observing the spectacular views of the Kazakh nature. In the evening you can change the scene by visiting multiple nightclubs or casinos.

All your needs will be met by a wide range of restaurants and hotels, which offer modern commodities and an extensive menu, from local cuisine to continental.
