Hikers can go to Arbat, located on Zhibek Zholy Avenue. Almaty youth gathers here, various actions and flash mobs are often held in which anyone can participate. Also, exhibitions of local craftsmen are often held on the Arbat. You can buy paintings with beautiful landscapes from the Arbat artists or order your own portrait.

You can also walk in the shade of the alleys in one of the Almaty parks. For example, in the Central Park of Culture and Rest (formerly the Gorky Park), the Park named after 28 Panfilov Guardsmen, the Park of the First President or in the Botanical Garden.
Step 3
If you are planning to relax in Almaty with children, visit the zoo. It is located on the territory of the Central Park of Culture and Leisure. Also, your kids will be delighted with the attractions of the Femeli Park and the Almaty Fantasy World Technopark.
Step 4
Do you want to plunge into the cultural life of the southern capital? Go, for example, to one of the theaters. There are about 20 of them in Almaty. Ballet, opera, performances based on classical works, repertoire for children - in general, there is a wide choice. Theatergoers should also visit the experimental theater "Artichoke".

In winter, Almaty residents and guests of the city also go to Medeo to go ice skating.

Also pay attention to the Kok-Tobe monument to the apple - the symbol of the city and the monument to the Beatles.
