Is Kazakhstan safe for women?
Almaty
I study and live in Almaty for 3 years. As a young woman I’ve never seen harassment. People always ready to help. But of course I don’t recommend walk at night alone and be careful with belongings on bus. My belongings never had been stolen. But anyways be careful

My hometown is pretty safe. It’s a small city with nice people. The taxi works during night in case if you wanna go somewhere alone and it’s pretty safe. I would only warn you not to drink water from the tub cuz that’s not really safe. Kazakhstan in general is a safe country and I think you would like the hospitality in my country!

Almaty is a very safe place during a daytime but it can be a bit dangerous during the night because of all drunk people around the public transport is very safe and there are some nice public transport available. Also you can use taxi apps like Yandex Go, which is pretty safe even at night.

Almaty is pretty much safe for a solo female traveler. Even though some streets at night could be dark due to lack of street lighting, my experience is that the city is pretty much safe if avoid some neighborhoods that are far from central area of the city.

It’s safe to travel alone after 10 pm,but only at touristical places I think.(like Khan shatyr,central park,expo etc) I recommend to go out at night with someone. But at the daytime it’s safe to go out for girls

Kazakhstan, Solo travel
I loved Kazakhstan and with a clear heart I can recommend it. Almaty and Astana are amazing cities, and the Tien Shan mountains are astounding. People in Kazakhstan are also some of the friendliest I have ever met, and I felt so safe there.

in July 2023, my family and I flew to Kazakhstan (Almaty). This was my first trip. Although we did not visit many places, I really enjoyed this trip. Almaty has landscapes of incredible beauty, mountains, nature, fruits and berries grow right on the streets. The city itself is also very beautiful, because it has beautiful architecture and many garlands and lights, as well as many restaurants with live music, decorated with garlands and flowers. To be honest, I didn't really like the local cuisine, since I'm not a fan of spices and fatty foods (this is purely my personal opinion), but some dishes were really tasty, and, importantly, everyone in Kazakhstan is served in large portions ;) What As for prices, for me, being a Russian, the prices were quite amazing, since everything here costs 2-3 times lower than in Russia (I even managed to bring a whole suitcase of snacks and drinks lol ). I also want to note that Kazakhstan has a rather warm climate, I can’t stand the heat, but here it felt much more pleasant, and we also lived in an observatory on a mountain, which helped us escape the heat. We visited the famous Medeo and climbed 842 steps, terribly tired, but admired the beautiful views. We also went up the funiculars to Kok-Tube, where we visited the zoo, fed the animals, and also visited the amusement park there. Not far from this place we also went to the cinema. We also visited the Butakovsky waterfall, where we were able to fully experience and see the beauty, and also take many beautiful photos. We also visited an open water park and a market. Also we visited the park of the first president, where we just walked, ate ice cream and admired the viewsWe had such a short but eventful vacation, I liked everything very much and I would like to visit Almaty again ♡

About Me
Hi! I am a 22 y.o. girly, studying masters degree in Education here in Astana. I am local, from KZ, but moved to Astana only last year. My interests are different: baking, listening to music, creating videos, drawing, and many more, I always lose track of what I am doing because of doing so much. 😅 I am an open-minded, warm, and friendly person. We will definitely find something in common to discuss about!
