10 Free Things to do in Kazakhstan That You Shouldn't Miss
Kazakhstan (Kazakh: Қазақстан, translit. Qazaqstan, IPA: [qɑzɑqˈstɑn] ( listen); Russian: Казахстан, IPA: [kəzɐxˈstan]), officially the Republic of Kazakhstan (Kazakh: Қазақстан Республикасы, translit. Qazaqstan Respýblıkasy; Russian: Республика Казахстан, tr. Respublika Kazakhstan), is the world's largest landlocked country, and the ninth largest in the world, with an area of 2,724,900 square kilometres (1,052,100 sq mi). Kazakhstan is the dominant nation of Central Asia economically, generating 60% of the region's GDP, primarily through its oil/gas industry. It also has vast mineral resources. Some argue that Kazakhstan may be considered a European country because Kazakhstan's Western region is on the European continent and meets the Council of Europe's criteria for European inclusion.

This impressive memorial is to the 28 guardsmen of the Panfilov division who were said to have sacrificed themselves destroying 18 German tanks outside Moscow. The truth of this has been questioned. This is only a portion of the park, which also has parklands, amusement park and the Zenkov Cathedral.

This was high on my list of must sees in Almaty. It did not disappoint. The colors on the outside are just perfect. It is so incredible that this wooden church was built without a single nail and survived a powerful earthquake a few years after completion. The inside was lovely, but I felt it was not appropriate to take photos with people in the midst of their prayers and rituals. I have included photos from all four sides.

Not just for fitness. The flower gardens and maze-like sidewalks are very nice for escaping the doldrums of the city. This open air park is beautiful in its expanse and placement just outside of the downtown area. If you need to get out and run, this is the best location in Nur-Sultan. One of the best fitness related parks I have been to.

We visited hereat beginning of August 2020 after we found out our initial target, otanical garden, was closed due ti disinfection services relted to pandemic, during our 2 days temporary stay in Almaty. Park is a fairly large, very green place with a lot of different trees that you can sit beneath on the grass and long walking courses for leasure walks. Also has a perimetral road fof cycling and skating. Park has 2 buffets where you can buy refreshments, coffee, tea, ice cream, etc. Overall we enjoyed here, spent half day in open clean air with our 6 months old peacefully sitting or sleeping in his trolley under tree shades.

This beautiful white and gold mosque is said to be the 3rd largest in central Asia. It can be seen from around the city, particularly when you are near the Baiterek tower.
