What to See in Bishkek
Bishkek combines eastern tradition, open space, and tranquility.
It’s a low, spacious, and green city — and from almost every street, you can see the snow-covered peaks of the Tien Shan.
Ala-Too Square
The heart of the capital and the main square of Kyrgyzstan. Parades, concerts, and festivals take place here throughout the year. In the evenings, the square comes alive with music and lights.
Ala-Archa National Park
One of the most beautiful natural areas in the country — just 40 minutes from the city center.
The park sits in a mountain gorge with glaciers, pine forests, and clear rivers. Cool in summer and snow-covered in winter, it’s perfect for hiking, picnics, or even skiing.
Osh Bazaar
The most colorful and authentic place in Bishkek — a lively marketplace full of spices, fruits, nuts, and handmade crafts.
Here you can experience the real spirit of the Silk Road.
Imam Sarakhsi Mosque
The largest mosque in Kyrgyzstan, built in classic oriental style. Its white domes and elegant arches reflect the sunlight, filling the space with a sense of peace and openness.
Erkindik Boulevard and Chui Avenue
Shady green streets ideal for quiet walks. Museums, galleries, and old buildings with Soviet and eastern elements create a unique mix of cultures and eras.
