Hotel “Kazakhstan”

Monument to Abai

Cable car to Kok-Tobe Hill: the tallest TV tower in the world and the Beatles monument (optional, at your request and adjusted for weather conditions)
From this “fruit mountain”, at an altitude of more than thousand meters, the best panorama of the city opens. From time to time the hill tends to slide down and collapse on the city. Let's find out how the townspeople don't allow this to happen.

Opera and Ballet Theatre
During the Second World War, its stage became a haven for the first names of Soviet art. Almaty pigeons also made their contribution to the history of the theater - their droppings almost led to disaster.

Panfilov St.
The site of violent demonstrations during the revolutionary times of the early 20th century, today it serves as a key bohemian and restaurant artery of the city. Which means we won’t miss it.

House of the Government of the Soviet Kazakhstan
Perhaps the most monumental work of architecture in the former capital.
It was here that the independence of Kazakhstan was declared in 90s.

Holy Ascension Cathedral
One of the tallest wooden buildings in the world. The world's tallest Orthodox church built of wood. And at the same time - the country's first… radio station.
We will find out why the temple clergy tried to dig an underground passage to China.
