What you can expect

Begin your tour with the Grand Mosque of Astana, the largest mosque in Central Asia and one of the largest mosques in the world. Admire its monumental scale, elegant white marble architecture, and impressive interior design. Enjoy a guided visit inside the mosque, with explanations about Islamic traditions, Kazakh religious culture, and the symbolism of the building.

Next, continue to Independence Square, one of the most important historical and architectural areas of the city. See several major landmarks in one location, including the Palace of Peace and Reconciliation (the Pyramid), the Independence Monument, the Palace of Independence, the Shabyr National University of Arts with its unique design, and the Hazret Sultan Mosque, whose architecture is often compared to the Taj Mahal. Learn about Kazakhstan’s independence, national identity, and modern development.

Then, visit the Assumption Cathedral, the largest Orthodox church in Central Asia. Enter the cathedral and learn about Orthodox Christianity in Kazakhstan, as well as the country’s religious diversity and coexistence.

After that, stop at the Atyrau Bridge, a uniquely designed pedestrian bridge shaped like a fish, symbolising the connection between Europe and Asia. Walk along the promenade and enjoy views of the Ishim River and the city skyline.

Finally, visit the Baiterek Tower, Astana’s most iconic symbol. Go up to the observation deck to enjoy panoramic views of the Nurly Zhol Boulevard and the city centre. Entry tickets to Baiterek are included. The tour ends here, close to the original pickup point.
