Travel råd og advarsler Astana
| Tourism |
Astana has been the capital of the Republic of Kazakhstan since 1996. The city is located in the central part of the country and in the north of its immense territory, called Sary Arka, on the right bank of the Esil (Ishim) River at the distance of 1318 km from the former capital of Kazakhstan - Almaty. In 1862 the Cossack military fort became the city of Akmolinsk. Majestic buildings of the House of the Government and the Parliament, a huge number of new establishments and the restored buildings attract attention of citizens and tourists.
Astana is becoming an international business and cultural centre not only for Kazakhstan, but also for the Eurasian continent. |
| Culture |
Astana is a city on the rise – literally and figuratively. Its stunning modern architecture is rising from the vast Asian steppe as its international reputation as a center of regional trade and politics grows along side. The same is true of the city's arts culture. The venues and the art you will find here reflect the history of Kazakhstan while pushing the boundaries of what came before.
Among the most stunning examples is Astana's new Kazakhstan Central Concert Hall. This 3, 500 seat hall sits inside a stunning turquoise blue building of swirling lines and changing vistas designed by Manfredi Nicoletti following an international design competition. It's one of the largest halls of its kind in the world and is the setting for frequent performances ranging from visiting opera troupes to traditional Kazakh music. |
