Famous for its natural beauty
Almaty 4 Days
Almaty, Kazakhstan's largest metropolis, is set in the foothills of the Trans-Ili Alatau mountains.
Kazakhstan’s biggest city, Almaty, is almost reminiscent of Europe with its leafy avenues, chic cafes, glossy shopping centres and hedonistic nightlife. The city certainly has a spectacular beauty, whether it was the Garden of Eden, and is in the foothills of the Trans-Ili Ala-Tau in the extreme southeast of Kazakhstan. The backdrop of mountains against the taller buildings makes a dramatic and impressive sight and was the centre for the Asian Winter games in January 2011.
