About this experience
The young capital of Kazakhstan rapidly absorbs the national characteristics and color of the country. The city vividly reflects its history and, in addition to impressive modern projects, is interesting with its antiquity, which you will encounter on this journey. Examining buildings from the 19th-20th centuries, you will immerse yourself in the literary, cultural, and merchant life of Astana. And your guide will be a smartphone with a pre-installed application.
What to expect
The audio tour will start at the city administration building and end at the futuristic Atirau bridge. You will learn about the founder of modern Kazakh literature, Saken Seifullin, as well as many historical figures who at different times shaped the basis of Kazakh statehood. Take a closer look at the facades of buildings from the late 19th to early 20th centuries and decipher their details. Visit the house of the merchant Kubrin, known for trading in jewelry and haberdashery. And also peek into the stalls of artisans at the local Arbat, where a sculpture dedicated to The Beatles and a throne from 'Game of Thrones' will transport you from past epochs to the present.
