One Perfect Day in Almaty: from Mountains to City lights

About This Experience

Experience the best of Almaty in one perfect day — from alpine peaks to city streets. Start high above the city at Medeu, the world's highest skating rink, then ride up to Shymbulak mountain resort for breathtaking views of the Tian-Shan peaks. Watch the city stretch out below as you breathe in the fresh mountain air.

• Back in the city, explore Panfilov Park and the stunning wooden Ascension Cathedral, one of the few tsarist-era buildings still standing.
• Stroll through the vibrant Green Bazaar for local flavors and Kazakh treats.
• Stop by the famous Rakhat Confectionery — the sweet heart of Almaty since 1942.
• Finish at Kok Tobe hill for panoramic views of the city at its best.
• A lunch stop is included — time to taste local Kazakh cuisine at a traditional restaurant.
