Kazakhstan, one of Russia's closest neighbors, is located in the heart of Eurasia and is most lively involved in cultural exchange between our countries..Not least thanks to this, more and more of our compatriots choose Kazakhstan for tourist trips .Judge for yourself: here the ancient legacy and the western trends are intricately intertwined, here you can see the boundless steppes, feel the wind from the mountains and listen to the splash of waves in the lakes ... It is from here that the space ships delivering cargo to the International Space Station start-and when the Great Silk Road, linking East Asia with the Mediterranean .And this connection of times is felt in every stone, it is visible in every street of Kazakh cities and in every face that will flash in the crowd, captured by the rhythm of modern business..
Take at least the capital, Alma-Ata. Here the strongest influence of Europe is felt - the economic prosperity of Kazakhstan in this city is especially clear. Drowning in the greenery of the city at the very foot of the Trans-Ili Alatau - a magnificent creation of architects who worked in Soviet times. Now Alma-Ata has "dressed up" in the shine of modern signboards, glinting in the morning glare in the glasses of the most modern business centers.
How can you see all this magnificence? Of course, you can get there by train. But let's just say - the progress to the Kazakhstani railways has not reached as quickly as to other areas of activity: now the trains do not look the best, and the comfort level in the compartment and even more so the reserved seat leaves much to be desired. Where it is more pleasant and quick to get by plane, especially since regular flights to various airports are now vast, and there are no problems with air tickets to Kazakhstan!
For example, one can only get to Alma-Ata by flights with Air Astana, Transaero, Rossiya and Aeroflot. If you choose a direct flight, the flight will take only four hours. In addition, you can get here with transfers - these same carriers will be delivered to Astana, Shymkent or Karaganda.
It should be noted that direct flights fly almost to all major Kazakh cities, and ticket prices remain within reasonable limits. And if ten years ago we had to carefully choose the flight, balancing between cheapness and reliability, now the transportation is carried out on quite modern Airbus and An-148. So, for the level of comfort when flying to Kazakhstan, you do not have to worry!
