Almaty is the southern capital of Kazakhstan, a city of 1.5 million people, the administrative, economic and cultural center of the republic. Surrounded by the semicircle of the snow-capped mountains of the Trans-Ili Alatau, he captivates with his originality. Alpine meadows, Tien Shan spruces, gardens serve as a kind of frame for it. The whole city is viewed from the high hill of Koktyube - a panorama of strictly lined up, green-clad neighborhoods, beautiful high-rise buildings soaring into the bright blue of the sky. Successfully inscribed in the mountain landscape, subordinated to a single original solution, they constitute a beautiful architectural ensemble of the city, in which elements of national culture and the achievements of modern construction equipment are widely used.

Almaty is a garden city. Green areas occupy half of its area - pyramidal and silver poplar, elm, oak, birch, linden, acacia, pine and spruce. In spring, when everything is flourishing, Almaty is especially good. White foam gardens cover the surrounding mountains and descend into the thick of urban neighborhoods, tulips spread out in a red carpet. In the summer, the coolness of the evening and the breeze from the mountains are called for a walk along the boulevards and avenues, on the square with bright flower gardens, where streams of numerous fountains are scattered in fancy spray. Autumn fascinates with golden foliage pierced by the sun, the aroma of the famous Almaty apples - aport. And how beautiful winter is in the city, short but frosty and snowy. Then all the townspeople get up on skis and skates.ПОЙДЕТ
