The Whole City Is a Sight: The Charm of Exploring Bishkek on Foot
Kyrgyzstan’s capital, Bishkek, is a city that’s fun to explore on foot.
Imposing Soviet-era architecture, green parks, and towering mountains on the horizon.
On foot, by bus, or by taxi, you can easily see the main landmarks.
Traffic isn’t too heavy and people take life at a relaxed pace. It feels as safe and comfortable as a provincial town.
What’s more, sights like Ala-Too Square and the National Theater are clustered close together,
so “walking around” or “getting around by bus” is the most efficient way to see them, and the most fun!
