FIRST DAY IN ALMATY, KAZAKHSTAN ???????? | DIY City Tour, Kok Tobe, Green Bazaar & Local Food!

FIRST DAY IN ALMATY, KAZAKHSTAN! ???????? Join me as I explore Almaty on a DIY city tour, visit famous landmarks, discover local markets, and try traditional Kazakh and Central Asian food!

For my first full day in Almaty, I explored some of the city's must-visit attractions, including Kok Tobe Hill, Green Bazaar, Panfilov Park, and the beautiful Ascension Cathedral (Zenkov Cathedral). I also enjoyed local food, walked around the famous Arbat Walking Street, and experienced the charm of Kazakhstan's largest city.
