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 quite safe place, but in definite parts, I’m living in the place where there are a lot of families live, so I feel quite comfortable in this area, but I can’t say about other places, I’ve heard that u should be careful in the right part of the city, cause city is divided into two parts because of the river Esil.
Posted: February 11, 2025Astana is a quite safe place. I was/am always comfortable here. People are hospitable and nice. Sometimes they might be curious if you look different so they might want to capture it and may ask you to take a photo with them. If you’re not ok with it you can simply say no to it and it’ll be ok. Overall, people here understand some English so it wouldn’t be a big problem to express yourself.

I do pole dance and creative writing. I also consult students of my university on their writing assignments. I’ve been to 9 countries, and am willing to explore and travel more.

Hey, I’m Samal and I love travelling! I know how it might be difficult to understand the city and the culture when you are new in the country, so here I am, I’ll be more than happy to meet new people and help them as much as I can ❤️
