5 Days in Almaty — Nature, City Views & Cozy Vibes
#postandearn #localguides
Day 1
Ease into Almaty with a slow morning stroll, then ride the cable car up to Koktobe for stunning views of the city and the mountains behind it. Watch the sunset and grab dinner at a spot with a view — the lights of Almaty at night are unforgettable. 🌃
Day 2
Time to hit the mountains! 🏞️Head out for a hike in Medeu or Shymbulak — snowy peaks in winter, lush trails in summer. Don’t forget snacks and layers. After the hike, reward yourself with a hot local meal and maybe a cheeky dessert.🌳
Day 3
City day. Explore hidden courtyards, local markets, and little art galleries 🖼️. For lunch, try a cozy café with Kazakh fusion dishes. As the evening rolls in, hop between a few local bars — the scene is chill, creative, and full of character, with an authentic spin to classic drinks.🍷
Day 4
Back to the wild — hike a different trail or take a short trip to a nearby lake. 🗻🥾 Bring a thermos, soak in the silence, and breathe that mountain air. Dinner back in the city? Go for something hearty and traditional.
Day 5
Slow morning with brunch and people-watching. Revisit a favorite spot, grab souvenirs, or squeeze in one last rooftop drink before you go. 🍳
Almaty is where city life meets the mountains — and you get the best of both.
