Almaty is Kazakhstan’s largest city and a major cultural, business, and tourism center. It is the country’s former capital and remains one of its most important cities. Located at the foot of the Ile Alatau mountains, Almaty combines a lively urban atmosphere with easy access to spectacular mountain landscapes. In just 20 minutes by car from the city center, you can reach pine-covered mountain slopes. Almaty is an ideal starting point for exploring the cultural heritage and diverse landscapes of southeastern Kazakhstan.

Perched at an elevation of 1690 meters (5545 ft) above sea level, the Medeu Skating Rink claims the title of the world's highest mountain skating rink, boasting the largest artificial ice field covering 10.5 thousand square meters. Embraced by majestic mountains and benefiting from the pristine mountain water used for ice, this rink has set the stage for more than 200 world records in speed skating. Widely recognized as the "factory of records," the Medeu Skating Rink is not limited to athletes; it extends a warm welcome to all skating enthusiasts. Adjacent to the rink is a mudflow protection dam, accessible via the "Health Ladder," a staircase comprising 842 steps.

Nestled in the scenic gorge of the Ile Alatau Mountains, Shymbulak Ski Resort is just a 15-minute drive from the heart of Almaty. Established in 1954, it served as a training base for Soviet skiers from the mid-1950s onward, hosting championships of the USSR and Kazakhstan on its slopes. The resort comprises three levels, with the highest situated at an impressive altitude of 3200 meters above sea level.

Kok-Tobe Hill stands at an elevation of 1130 meters (3707 ft) above sea level. The summit can be reached via a winding road or a cable car, starting from the Palace of the Republic. At the hilltop, stands the renowned 372-meter TV tower, a distinctive symbol of the city and its tallest structure. Additionally, the Kok-Tobe Park awaits, providing the opportunity to revel in a spectacular city panorama from the dedicated observation deck, toss a coin into the apple-shaped fountain, pose with the Beatles monument, and peruse a shop featuring national souvenirs.

The Park of 28 Panfilov Guardsmen commemorates the heroic act of 28 soldiers during World War II, specifically the Battle of Moscow. These soldiers, part of the 316th Rifle Division and led by Major Ivan Panfilov, valiantly defended their position against an overwhelmingly superior enemy force. Despite being vastly outnumbered and outgunned, they held their ground for 36 hours, fighting until they expended their last bullet and took their last breath.

Established in 1868, the Green Bazaar stands as one of Almaty's oldest markets. It continues to enjoy popularity, reminiscent of its late 19th-century status, and features a diverse selection of traditional Kazakhstani items and products. Notably, the market is renowned for offering the famous Almaty Aport apple. Travel tip: Most market purchases are made in cash using the local currency, the Kazakhstani tenge.

Gunny Ethnic Village is a vibrant ethnographic complex where tourists can experience the traditional lifestyle and customs of the Kazakh people. Here, visitors are immersed in the rich heritage of the Kazakh nomads, with demonstrations of equestrian shows, archery, traditional combat displays, and rituals marking life stages from birth to adulthood. The village features traditional Kazakh yurts and modern yurtages – yurt-inspired cottages with modern amenities. There is also a shooting range, stables, dining facilities, a horseback riding school, and various national-style structures and decor.

Turgen Gorge is a picturesque mountain valley located about 70 km () east of Almaty, in the Ile-Alatau National Park. Surrounded by forested slopes, alpine meadows, and the rugged peaks of the Tien Shan, it is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts. The gorge is famous for its scenic waterfalls. Visitors can also enjoy mountain rivers, fresh air, and beautiful views along the winding road through the gorge. Turgen Gorge is an excellent choice for a day trip from Almaty, especially in spring and summer, when the landscape is lush and green.

Lake Kaindy was formed by a powerful earthquake more than a century ago. The seismic activity triggered a landslide, forming a natural dam that blocked a valley. The water submerged the surrounding trees, resulting in the picturesque underwater forest that graces the lake's depths today. Despite the passage of time, the lake has remarkably preserved its submerged forest. The cold water in Lake Kaindy slows down the decomposition process, preventing the decay of the trees. As a result, the submerged forest remains remarkably well-preserved.

Lunar Canyon is located between the Charyn River and the Kuluktau Mountains, it is famous for its unusual rock formations shaped by wind and water over thousands of years. The resulting landscape resembles the surface of the Moon, giving the canyon its name.

The gorge is also known as the Valley of Yurts because some of its rock formations bear a striking resemblance to traditional Kazakh yurts.

The Kolsay Lakes form a series of mountain lakes, each positioned at varying altitudes. The Lower Kolsay Lake resides at an altitude of 1818 meters (5965 ft) and stands out for its easy accessibility by car, making it the most frequented lake. The Middle Kolsay Lake, the largest among the three, is nestled at 2250 meters (7382 ft). A natural dam of fir trees blocks its waters, and the shores boast the rare sight of blooming white edelweiss. At an elevation of 2850 meters (9350 ft), the Upper Kolsay Lake is the smallest and coldest of the trio. Remarkably pristine and seldom visited by tourists, it remains the cleanest and most untouched among the three lakes.

Charyn Canyon bears a resemblance to the Grand Canyon in the USA, albeit on a smaller scale. The steep canyon slopes reach heights of 150-300 meters (500-1000 ft), and what truly stands out is the remarkable dissection of the terrain – a dense, chaotic network of numerous ravines. Particularly captivating is the Valley of Castles, where the wind and water have sculpted walls resembling castles and towers. This valley showcases nature's unique architectural prowess, crafting magnificent structures over millions of years. Walking amid these towers and columns, you can marvel at the wild imagination of nature for hours.

Chorsu Bazaar is one of Tashkent’s oldest and most famous traditional markets. Located in the city’s historic center, the bazaar is recognizable by its large turquoise dome, beneath which vendors sell fresh produce, spices, dried fruits, nuts, traditional sweets, and local delicacies. Outside, visitors can explore rows of stalls offering freshly baked bread, handmade goods, and Uzbek street food.

Hazrati Imam Complex is one of Tashkent’s most important religious and historical landmarks. It brings together mosques, madrasas, and the Mausoleum of Kaffal Shashi. It is also home to the Muyi Muborak Madrasa, which houses one of the world’s oldest Quran manuscripts, known as the Uthman Quran. The complex is a remarkable example of Uzbekistan’s Islamic heritage, showcasing centuries-old architectural traditions and the craftsmanship of local artisans.

Amir Timur Square features a monument to Amir Timur, the 14th-century ruler who founded the Timurid Empire. The square is surrounded by greenery, walking paths, and notable buildings, including the Uzbekistan Hotel and the Museum of the History of the Timurids. It is a popular meeting place and a great starting point for exploring the city.

Itchan Kala is the historic inner city of Khiva and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This remarkably preserved old town features narrow streets, ancient madrasahs, mosques, minarets, and traditional courtyards. Walking through Itchan Kala feels like stepping back in time to the days when Khiva was an important stop along the Silk Road.

Lab-i Hauz Ensemble is centered around a large pond (hauz) built in the early 17th century. The square is surrounded by historic madrasahs, a khanaka (a gathering place for members of the Sufi order), and traditional teahouses. Shaded by old trees, Lab-i Hauz has long been a popular gathering place for locals and travelers alike.

Ark Fortress has served as the residence of the city’s rulers for centuries. Behind its massive earthen walls, the fortress housed palaces, mosques, administrative buildings, and living quarters. Today, it functions as a museum where visitors can learn about Bukhara’s history and its role as an important center of trade and culture along the Silk Road.

Samanid Mausoleum is one of the oldest surviving structures in Central Asia, dating back to the 9th and 10th centuries. It was built as a family tomb for the Samanid dynasty and now it's considered a masterpiece of early Islamic architecture in Central Asia. The mausoleum is particularly admired for its intricate brickwork and elegant design, which demonstrate the exceptional craftsmanship of its builders.

Registan is the historic heart of Samarkand and one of the most impressive architectural landmarks in Uzbekistan. It's a square surrounded by three madrasahs: Ulugh Beg Madrasah, Sher-Dor Madrasah, and Tilya-Kori Madrasah, built between the 15th and 17th centuries. Their richly decorated facades, mosaics, and turquoise domes showcase the finest traditions of Islamic architecture. Once a center of trade, public gatherings, and education, Registan remains a symbol of Samarkand's rich history and cultural heritage.

Shah-i-Zinda is a necropolis that houses several mausoleums decorated with intricate mosaics, glazed tiles, and vibrant blue patterns. The complex developed between the 11th and 15th centuries. It's associated with Qusam ibn Abbas, a cousin of the Prophet Muhammad, who is believed to have brought Islam to the region. Its name translates as “The Living King,” reflecting the legend surrounding his tomb. A walk among these ornate mausoleums offers visitors a glimpse into Samarkand’s rich spiritual heritage and the artistic achievements of medieval Central Asia.

Bibi Khanym Mosque was built in the late 14th and early 15th centuries by order of Amir Timur after his military campaign in India. At that time, it was among the largest mosques in the Islamic world. It was designed to reflect the power and grandeur of Timur’s empire. The monumental entrance portal, massive blue dome, and richly decorated walls showcase the finest traditions of Timurid architecture.

Unfortunately, the mosque suffered significant damage over the centuries and was eventually restored. Yet it remains an essential stop for visitors exploring Samarkand’s historic center.

Tashkent is the largest city in Central Asia with a population of more than 3 million. It’s a bustling, rapidly developing city that combines the traditions of Uzbek culture with the legacy of the Soviet era and the pace of modern urban life. Wide avenues, residential neighborhoods, green spaces, and contemporary developments shape the city’s appearance. Meanwhile, traditional customs and hospitality remain an important part of everyday life.

As Uzbekistan’s political, economic, and cultural center, Tashkent attracts students, entrepreneurs, and visitors from across the country and abroad. Its diverse food culture, lively social scene, and growing international connections make it a dynamic introduction to modern Uzbekistan.
