Though Kazakhstan may sound a like a third world country associated with terrorist countries, Almaty is a civilized place. There are little crime rates and the place itself is beautiful, surrounded by a large mountain range with snow-capped mountains. There are a mix of foreigners and natives because the country attracts many people due to its unique scenery. it is a great place to visit if you want to experience something new.

Almaty has all four seasons of the weather in a year. Being prepared to be ready for extreme snowfall, rain and hot summers. Appropriate clothes would be needed. The city itself is quite big, having a car or knowing how to manage public transport would be very applicable. However, bicycles are available in the city, which can be borrowed. Cafe’s and dining is popular in Almaty.

Traffic jams are horrible despite the welcoming people. the transport infrastructure is not in a high level, unfortunately. The Internet access is not available everywhere. However, delicious, diverse cuisine is wherever you want! The city is full of young people who are full of energy and enthusiasm.
