Address: along the same road as Medeu Ice Rink, Dam, and Chimbulak. Large, sprawling park, which contains quite a number of apple trees in addition to its towering alpine cones. Pleasant stop, especially if you catch a light drizzle.

almatyAddress: Kök-Töbe (Green Hill) on the mountainside, southeastern suburb of Almaty A large recreational space on the foothills of the Zailysky Alatau Mountains, Kok Tobe has the perfect vantage points for observing the city at a distance, especially during the night time. Looking at the panoramic cityscape below you with all its glittering lights, with the winter winds howling in your ears while you sip on a cup of steaming coffee, is one experience you will never want to forget! Kok Tobe also contains a number of small-scale amusement parks, crafts shops, and restaurants (do try the shashlik!), making it a family-friendly place rather than a hangout spot for couples and honeymooners only. The area is connected to the city by means of an aerial tramway that runs from the Palace of the Republic in Dostyk Avenue (near Hotel Kazakhstan), all the way up to the actual “Green Hill” – a ten minute ride by cable car that takes you over rooftops and gardens of the old Almaty city, costing around 100 KZT one-way. You can walk back downhill if you prefer – a long, but enchanting walk. The cable car runs from 11 am to 7 pm all days except Tuesdays.
almatyAddress: past the Medeu Ice Skating Rink and Medeu Dam, up the same trail Reception: +7 (3272) 58 19 99 Fax: +7 (3272) 58 20 30 Timings: open November to April/May
almatyAddress: just ahead of the Medeu Ice Skating Rink A large, 6 million cubic meters reservoir, situated 1900 meters above sea level, built in 1956 to protect Almaty from frequent landslides in the spring due to melting of ice. You can go see the dam either by car or on foot – park your car at the skating rink. Going on foot is definitely a much more enriching experience – you can never get enough of the steep mountainsides, the towering forests, and the fresh smell of wet leaves and soil! A series of steps leads up to the dam. Tradition goes that you guess the number of steps before starting your journey upstream and if, on reaching the dam, your guess was right, a wish will come true (you will probably lose count of the steps along the way, but who cares – it sure is fun to try it out!) Once you reach the top, you will see what all that climbing was worth – great views of the mountainside, the river valley, the ice rink, and, further out, the outlying Almaty!
Keep exploring Almaty.

almatyAddress: St.Satpaeva,Hyatt hotel, Almaty Phone: +7 727 226 1808 Certainly not the cheapest eatery around town – they charge you for entrance, for sitting, for batting an eyelid – ok, maybe not batting an eyelid, but everything here costs, and costs a lot! Ask before you order even a simple cocktail. Sometimes, you may be lucky enough to catch an international celebrity dining in here. Note – make reservations, as seats are always limited.

almatyAddress: 105 Dostyk Avenue, Almaty Phone: + 7 727 258 11 11 Fax: + 7 727 258 15 55 Email: [email protected] Website: http://alatau-hotel.kz/ Situated nearer to the airport than most other Almaty hotels (just 7 km), ensuring quick transfer via the hotel’s own cabs. The hotel is beautifully designed, with a general curved façade, meaning each adjacent guest room window on the upper floors has a view of the surrounding cityscape at a different angle, making the stay in each room unique. Some of the rooms also give beautiful views over the Medeu ski resort that lies nearby. The hotel’s away-from-city-centre location is ideal for the visitors who wantto experience the city at a distance, without all the hustle and bustle to interfere with their business or personal routine. Premier Alatau is known primarily for its excellent service – being a 3 star hotel, the service is highly professional, yet pleasantly hospitable. The staff also acts as informal guides, and any passing bellboy or waiter would be more than happy to provide you with general tips about touring the city. The lobby is equipped with high-speed wireless internet. It also contains a beauty salon, a travel agency, and a passport registration counter.
