Kazakhstan's largest city, Almaty, has been included on CNN Travel's list of the 25 best places to visit in 2025.
The city is emerging as Central Asia's new style capital, offering a unique mix of urban culture and natural beauty.
It’s one of those rare cities that truly has it all — great food, thriving nightlife, a fast-growing arts and culture scene and easy access to some of the world’s most stunning, untouched landscapes, thanks to its position at the base of the Tian Shan mountains, CNN writes.
Almaty combines world-class museums and a vibrant food scene featuring innovative "Neo Nomad" cuisine.
The city is now easily accessible with direct flights from major global hubs, and many international visitors, including those from the US, UK, Canada, and Australia, can enter without a visa.
