Choose your Kazakhstan city base

Almaty and Astana give a Kazakhstan trip two different settings. Almaty combines city dining and outings with a mountain backdrop. Astana offers a capital-city visit shaped by modern architecture and the Ishim River. Choose the city that fits your plans, then compare hotels within it.

Almaty for a city-and-mountain setting

Almaty city accommodation suits travellers who want the city itself to be part of the holiday. Its cafés, dining and urban activities can sit alongside outings towards the surrounding mountains.

A city hotel and a stay chosen primarily for a mountain setting serve different priorities. Decide how much time you want in each before selecting the address. Almaty city and the wider Almaty region also appear as separate destinations, so keep the geography of the search aligned with the stay.

Astana for architecture and a capital visit

Astana hotels offer another base. The city's newer centre on the left bank of the Ishim has wide avenues and distinctive modern buildings, while the right bank includes older streets and buildings as well as newer districts. Choose your location around the sights or appointments that matter most.

For a trip from the Philippines that includes both cities, plan separate accommodation dates. Compare the actual room arrangement and included services in each place; a Kazakhstan-wide price cannot describe the cost of the room you need in either city.
