A Spiritual Spectacle at Astana Grand Mosque ðâĻ Step into the heart of Nur-Sultan and be swept away by the awe-inspiring grandeur of the Astana Grand Mosque! This stunning landmark isnât just a place of worshipâitâs a showcase of modern Central Asian architecture, vibrant youth energy, and picture-perfect moments. ð§ Recommended Route: Start by approaching the mosque via the main plaza for the most dramatic first impressionâespecially near sunset when the white marble glows warmly. Then wander the peaceful gardens and fountains that surround the mosque before heading inside. ð Must-do Experiences: Tour the main prayer hall with its ornate blue-gold dÃĐcor and soaring domes. Pause for a quiet moment of reflection, whether or not youâre religiousâeveryoneâs welcome here. In the evening, the mosqueâs illuminated façade is an unforgettable sight. ðļ Insta-worthy Photo Spots: Capture the mosqueâs full silhouette from the outer gardens for a classic shot or snap the shimmering mosaics by the front entrance. Inside, the interplay of sunlight through stained glass windows makes for ethereal photosâespecially midday. ðĐ Visiting Tips: Open year-round, all day (3CC5+XV, Astana 020000, Kazakhstan). Dress modestlyâcover shoulders and knees; bring a scarf to cover your hair if needed. Mornings are generally quieter, and the weather is often gloriously clear from spring through fall. Take advantage of the friendly vibeâlocals love sharing their cityâs pride! â ïļ Precautions: Avoid visiting during midday prayers if you want full access to explore inside. Photography is welcome, but be mindful around worshippers and signs indicating no photos. #Astana #Kazakhstan #GrandMosque #CentralAsia #CityHighlights

1 year ago when I visited the place it was called Astana. Nowadays the name of this big city is Nur-Sultan named after the first president of free Kazakhstan - Nur-Sultan Nazarbayev. The city is famous with its skyscrapers and also with very extreme steppe climate with temperatures ranging from -55°C to +40°C #kazakhstan #astana #nursultan #happynewyear #happynewyear

Astanaâs got style â skyscrapers, futuristic vibes, and some hidden gems ðâĻ If youâre short on time, hereâs how I squeezed the best out of two days! Must-See Places: Baiterek â a city icon you canât skip! Located at 4CHJ+86C, Astana 01000. Open nearly all day (10:00-22:00, with short midday breaks). Tip: Go up to the observation deck and actually put your hand on the golden imprint. Itâs said to bring good luck, plus you get a 360° city panorama. Atyrau Bridge â especially stunning in the evening, when lights reflecting off the Ishim River set the mood. Perfect for photos or a chill stroll. Stay at Reikartz Park Astana ex-Royal Park Hotel & Spa â Kerey and Zhanibek Khans St 18. Central, super convenient for hitting all the main sights. The friendly multilingual staff made everything easy (Chinese or English if you need), rooms are large and quiet, and breakfasts really hit the spot before a busy day. Top Astana Tips: Revisit spots at night for a serious glow-upâespecially Baiterek and the bridge. Transport: Yandex Go taxi app is reliable and affordable; otherwise, the cityâs buses are simple to hop on.On buses, you can ask someone to pay with a Caspi card or give it in cash. The fare is 110 tenge. Just be careful, do not ask schoolchildren to do this, otherwise your fare will cost zero rubles and it says schoolboy) Be sure to take a QR picture on your phone, once they asked, there are controllers on the buses. Money: Cash or card Kaspi. Weather: Layers! Winds blow strong and temps change fast. Food recs: Venture to nearby cafesâtry Kazakh beshbarmak or the cityâs pastry shops. Breakfast at the hotel is hearty, so donât skip it! #AstanaTrip #KazakhstanVibes #TravelHacks #CityIcons
