I had an absolutely amazing time in Kazakhstan. It was my first ever solo trip and I can't brag enough about how beautiful, serene and untouched this country is. The people are so kind and friendly. I felt so much at ease and safe around the kind souls that I met at my journey. I had been to Almaty, kolsai, kaindy lakes, shymbulak mountain and every single place here is beautiful

I felt really safe and protected when I was around women.

The city itself is very beautiful and generally friendly, but I wouldn’t recommend going there alone.

I loved my time in Kazakhstan. I felt safe everywhere, including walking around at night in all the cities and at sites with my earphones in.

I think city centre is safe because it is well lit and I wouldn’t be scared of anything, but same cannot be said for the outskirts of the city. I think main reason for that is there are video surveillance and lack of lights.

I thought that it is safe city. It is a muslim country. But I saw a few drunk fights on the streets but police came fast here. I didn't walk here alone at night so I can't say about this time but during the day everything is okay. People here can help you with everything. They can looks like not so polite but they are kind people.

It’s very safe, at least you can leave your bag on the street and nobody is gonna take it or even touch it. About some sexy outfits it’s fine, like they can (not always) stare at you with some pressure, but unlikely they will say or do something to you
