Winter mornings in Almaty are especially quiet, calm, and atmospheric, offering a peaceful view of the city that most visitors never experience.
Will I see the sunrise?
The tour is designed to give you a calm first impression of the city before the day begins, rather than to watch the exact moment of sunrise.
From spring to early autumn, the city is already bright during the tour.
In winter months, you will experience the soft pre-sunrise atmosphere, with daylight appearing closer to the end of the walk or shortly after.
Each season offers a unique mood of Almaty.
