You should definitely try some local guides. I went with one who knew all the hidden gems, and I saved hours of wandering aimlessly. Totally worth it!
Park of the First President

If you're into photography, I recommend visiting around sunset. The lighting is beautiful, and you can avoid some of the crowds. It makes for some awesome pics!
Look for the best viewpoints! I found a hidden spot that overlooks the city. If you’re up for a little adventure, it’s totally worth the climb!

You must visit in early morning or just before sunset for that magical lighting. The views are stunning, especially at sunset, and way less crowded compared to midday.

Kolsai Lakes

I recommend starting your day early, around 7 AM. The sunrise over the lakes is simply breathtaking and you’ll avoid the crowds. Plus, you’ll have more time to explore.
Consider taking a local bus instead of a taxi from Almaty to save a few bucks. It’s a bit of an adventure, but you’ll meet some friendly locals along the way!
