1.1 km3 stops≈ 16 min walking without stopsРедакция 5Place

An unhurried walk combining green paths with theatre architecture. Begin in Lovers' Park, explore its walkways and find a view of the surrounding city. Head north to Oak Alley, a small green pause beside the theatre. Finish in front of Astana Opera and examine the colonnade, pediment and sculptural details of the façade. Allow 1–1.5 hours for photographs and rest. A performance or an interior tour can be arranged separately after checking the programme and admission conditions; this route is an exterior visit. Use pedestrian crossings between the park and the theatre district.
