I traveled alone to Kazakhstan and stayed 1.5 days in Astana (I didn't like it), then took a night train all the way to Almaty, where I stayed for almost a week. Lots of things to do around. Many day trips to beautiful places. Safe. Relatively cheap. I liked Almaty a lot.
Posted: March 25, 2023I loved Kazakhstan. I’ve only had 4 days there, so haven’t seen that much. I did private day tours to Charyn Canyon and Big Almaty lake, the tours were rather expensive. Regarding safety, I felt perfectly safe but I was told to avoid the area around the Green Bazar at night. The metro in Almaty works very well and is super cheap.
