About Almaty
Almaty is Kazakhstan's largest city and former national capital, built on an alluvial plain below the Trans-Ili Alatau. Mountain views and tree-lined streets are defining parts of its urban landscape.
The centre combines late-imperial buildings, Soviet civic architecture, parks and newer commercial districts. Many central landmarks lie within an easy walk around Panfilov Park and the Green Bazaar.
