Almaly District

Almaly District delivers Almaty's greatest hits with surprising ease. The golden domes of Zenkov Cathedral rise above leafy Panfilov Park, while the aromatic Green Bazaar beckons with spices and local textiles. Culture vultures can hop between theaters and museums, then cool off with locals under the shade of towering poplars. Soviet monuments stand tall alongside modern venues where traditional Kazakh tunes fill the air. The dining scene ranges from beshbarmak in traditional spots to cappuccinos in trendy cafes. Most attractions sit within easy walking distance along wide, tree-lined boulevards. The metro and bus system connects everything smoothly, making this central neighborhood perfect for travelers who want authentic cultural experiences without sacrificing convenience.

Took the cable car up to the Shymbulak ski area, most of the snow was gone already but it was a good day for a picnic in the grass up on the slopes.

Medeu District

Medeu District delivers mountain magic without the fuss. The legendary ice rink sits in a dramatic mountain amphitheater while cable cars whisk you to Shymbulak ski resort through fragrant pine forests. Hiking trails wind past rushing streams with panoramic views of snow-capped peaks. Whether skating in winter or mountain biking in summer, outdoor adventures await year-round. Most visitors rely on taxis to navigate this alpine playground since public transit is limited. Mountain hotels and cozy lodges offer spectacular views, while restaurants serve hearty Kazakh cuisine after a day on the slopes. The crisp mountain air and peaceful setting make Medeu a refreshing escape from downtown Almaty.

A trip to Almaty, Kazakhstan isn't complete without a day trip to Big Almaty Lake. Wear layers as the lake is over 8000 ft above sea level (2511m) and can be cold or hot depending on the quickly changing weather. Bring a picnic and enjoy the mountain scenery! #mountains #kazakhstan #lake #travel #nature
