Astana 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.

Astana is a very safe city but there are a few rules to follow as a solo woman: 1. Don’t talk to taxi drivers too much, be polite 2. Don’t leave your belongings without attention 3. For staying and/or walking at night choose newer neighborhoods on ‘Levyi Bereg’ 4. Don’t dress too open

Very safe. I walk alone after dark a lot and haven't experienced any trouble in any part of the city ever. All streets are lit and paved, so there are none really dark spots a tourist can get into. Locals are pretty friendly too
