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 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 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
