Embankment
Every morning and evening Astana residents walk along the embankment and the park. This place changes every season: at the beginning of winter there is no one here, and in the middle of winter there are already a lot of people riding downhill and ice rink. In the summer, on the embankment, you can find little shops selling ice cream.

It reminds the main square of Budapest or squares in other European cities. If we compare in architecture, then the columns, arch, and a large column in the middle look similar. There are places where people can relax and take a walk.
Mukhtar Auezov Street
This street is beautiful any day. It has the feature of a county town built in the late 19th century. Once upon a time, there was a rich cultural life: several theaters, Russian, Kazakh, and Tatar merchants lived there. There was a best white flour factory, from where flour was delivered to the tsar.
House of the merchant Moiseyev
The merchant Moiseyev was a neighbor of the Kubrins. This house was built in 1914. In 1917, the Komsomol committee occupied it. Then this building was a hospital for WWII veterans. The whole history of Astana is felt right here. It is cozy, magically beautiful in wintertime; everything is decorated like in a fairy tale.

The museum has preserved all his things, photographs of his wife and children, and a photograph of his muse who lived in Moscow. In Soviet time, there was a kindergarten Zorka.
