Start your journey from one of the largest cities in Kazakhstan, which was previously the nation’s capital for 70 years. Initially, the city was called Verniy, then, in 1921, it was renamed Alma-Ata, and in 1998 the Russian name Alma-Ata was replaced by the Kazakh spelling - Almaty. On December 10, 1997, the city lost its status as the capital, but continues to be considered the cultural southern capital of Kazakhstan. About 2 million people live in Almaty. The city is symbolically divided into upper and lower parts, and the mountains serve as an iconic backdrop. In clear weather, the mountains are visible from almost anywhere in the city.
