Things to do in Astana, Akmola Province: The Best Nature & Parks
Designated the capital city of Kazakhstan in the late 1990s, Astana boasts a landscape glittering with new architecture and construction projects as the government infrastructure continues to be built. Old and new quarters of the city are divided by the Ishim River, with older, Soviet era structures on the north side while the governmental quarter and monuments like the monolithic Bayerek Tower spread out to the south. The central Avenue of the Republic is a hub of entertainment and business.

Nur- Sultan city is surrounded by huge territory of forest running along around the city. The forest belt can be seen from different sides of the city which total area is about 73 thousand hectares! The forest plantation can also be seen in many places, for example, along the Nura-Ishim river, it also stretches long the way to Borovoye, Pavlodar, Kostanay and Karaganda. When going down the Nur-Sultan - Karaganda road to Nurly village (or “41 junction”) even without entering the village, one can easily go straightly to the plantation of currant bushes. So, what we did with my family last July. When we arrived at the place, we saw a variety of current bushes colours: black, red, yellow and others. There were also some gooseberry bushes, but we could not gather them till August. I have never seen so many ripe berries in nature before. I used to see then only in supermarkets… We enjoyed collecting these beautiful, juicy and tasty berries, unspoiled by pesticides or other chemicals. The most exciting thing is that it’s absolutely free, even if you collect them a lot. Having been there, you could feel the real beauty and silence of nature, as it is located in a far away distance from the noisy city, about 40-50 minutes far from the center of Nur-Sultan. It was an unusual experience for me as a person who lived in the urban place. Hopefully, next summer I can visit other parts of the Green Belt and see other kinds of plants, for instance, 26 different types of trees that have been planted in the “Ak Kayin” forest nursery. I would like to see yellow acacias or pick natural apples. I highly recommend the guests of the capital to visit the Green Belt of Nur-Sultan.

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.
