Walk along the city's Yesentai River

To experience the Almaty terrenekur
Terrenkur is a cross-country path for health-improving walks on foot. Since not everyone has the desire or opportunity to get out into nature, such a path right in the city is a real boon for lovers of walks away from transport. Along the path there are several platforms where you can sit down and take a break. The path is located between Luganskogo Street and Dostyk Avenue.
Get inspired on Panfilov Street
A favorite place for dates in Almaty. The street is pedestrianized - you can walk, explore art objects, listen to street musicians and buy memorable gifts at the handicrafts fair. You can make your walk more pleasant with an ice cream from Umami brand on a hot day or a glass of wine in the evening in one of the cafes along the road.
