Bishkek
With its Soviet-era buildings, delectable food and scenic beauty, Bishkek should be on every traveller’s bucket list. In this cultural hub of Central Asia, impressive architecture and jagged mountains define the skyline, providing relief from the usual monotony of common cityscapes.
Navigating through the city’s streets and squares there’s a sense of timelessness, with fascinating Soviet buildings and quaint shops standing side by side amidst the ever-present backdrop of the Ala-Too mountain range. The Ala Archa National Park, just outside the city limits, complements the city life and makes this the perfect destination for trekkers and nature lovers.
From culinary diversions and art scenes to post-Soviet anachronisms and lush green surroundings, you will be delighted by the vibrancy that the Bishkek radiates.
