Explore the Soviet-era architecture, monuments, and atmosphere of Bishkek on a guided walking tour. Visit Ala-Too Square, Oak Park, and Victory Square to learn about the city's history.

Start at Ala-Too Square, the heart of Bishkek, built in Soviet times as a symbol of state power. Although Lenin’s statue was moved in the 2000s, you can still find it behind the State History Museum, a key place to explore Soviet-era exhibits.

Walk through Oak Park, which still has Soviet-era sculptures and busts of Communist leaders. It’s a great place to see the artistic influence of that time.

Continue to Victory Square, built in 1985 to commemorate 40 years of victory in World War II. See a large monument shaped like a yurt with an eternal flame, a classic Soviet war memorial.
