Botanical Garden
Almaty residents are lucky with nature. If you don't have an opportunity to visit Big Almaty lake, then you need to visit the Botanical Garden and take a famous picture on the pine path. The garden looks amazing in winter, reminiscent of an abandoned kingdom.

Atabarbar Bar, @atabarspeakeazy
Favorite bar in Almaty. Here tourists must try "Kyzyl Ata" or "Kara orys" cocktails, based on Kazakh milk chocolate.
Umami, @umami_almaty
Cafe where you can try one of the best ice creams in Almaty. Worth trying even in winter. Ice cream flavored with lavender, chocolate gianduja figs and parmesan recommended. The ice cream stretches slightly in the mouth like an Italian Gelato.
