Posted: June 20, 2025Astana is a pretty safe place for all kind of travelers. Local people value hospitality. The crime levels are low-moderate. There are almost no robberies,attacks. The center of the city might be safer than outskirts.
Posted: June 7, 2025The city is actually very safe, especially if you’re walking around the left bank. Of course, like in any other city, it’s good to stay a bit cautious, but overall it feels very safe. The right bank can be a bit less safe, especially late at night and on the outskirts.
Posted: April 17, 2025I would say it's usually very safe near Expo park, in Esil neighborhood overall. But it's very dark and unsafe in other parts of Astan, and i wouldn't dare to walk alone at night. At some parts I could get robbed, but I have to truly try my best to find those areas.
Posted: April 16, 2025I living here, so I used to something things. And Astana is very interesting and underrated place, but it still not too safe for the women. And if you a solo female traveler and plans to come, I suggest to you to not going after dark and be careful when you’re in not public place. Wish you kind regards ✨
Posted: April 14, 2025Astana is a new city, built specifically as the capital. We spent one night in Astana and that was enough. I recommend visiting the mosque and the tower. About 1.5 hours from Astana is a former gulag (for women and children) - we hired a driver to take us there.
