Where to go in Almaty: interesting places for a walk

For a first look around Almaty, choose a historic park, a walk among plants or a view of the city from Kok Tobe. These three places each have a different character: compare them and decide how to spend a spare hour or part of your weekend.

How to plan a walk in Almaty

Do not combine all three places into one walking route without checking the distances. Panfilov Park works as a stop of its own in the centre, the Botanical Garden suits a separate, relaxed outing, and a trip to Kok Tobe needs time for the ascent and return journey.
