KARAGANDA
The second largest in Kazakhstan, this city is known for coal mining. Karaganda is quite calm and is perfect for those who don't like the noise of the big cities. But despite this, you will find plenty of attractions to match your wants.

The Cultural Center, Central Park, and the Sports Arena are just a few sites to name for visitors to attend. Many options for dining, clubbing and attending casinos is also available.

The beauty of Karaganda is not only in the city. Just within an hour drive you will find a national park Karkaralinsk. There you will be greeted by an untouched lake surrounded by black mountains. You can take recreational boat rides, go hiking or simply enjoy the magnificent landscapes during the summer months. Those who wish to get pampered can attend a spa just outside the park.
