We will start our walk at the train station “Zhibek Zholy” (ticket is included), the metro system is new and very special, each station has its own story to tell, and “Zhibek Zoly” logically takes us to very ancient times of the history of this land - the times of The Grate Silk way which the decoration of the station describes in quite bright artistic way.
Ulitsa Panfilova
  • 30m
We will reach the pedestrian Panfilov street with lots of pretty cafes and restaurants and find a house of the most unusual architectural style for the conservative USSR times – the building of central telegraph that truly looks like a shopping net. Right from there we will get the view of the Kazakh opera and ballet theater that represents an outstanding combination of Asian motives and European classicism.
Kunaev's Big Almaty Channel

Our way continues to the oldest park of Almaty – the park of 28 Panfilovcev where we will get to see the oldest cathedral in the city that survived the most devastation earthquake of 1911, the wooden old Russian style officer club building and the ambitious monument to the victory in the 2d World War put up in soviet times.
