A love letter from the mountains of Central Asia to the streets of Seoul.
โธป
Seoul: Bukhansan, Gwanaksan, Inwangsan.
Almaty: Medeo, Shymbulak, Kok-Zhailau.
The difference? In Almaty, the mountains start 15 minutes from downtown.
You can sip espresso in the city and snowboard by lunch. It’s giving altitude with attitude.
โธป
Seoul lives on iced americano.
Almaty breathes filter, flat white, and baristas with tattoos.
There are specialty coffee shops on every block — some in hidden courtyards, some on mountaintops.
Coffee here isn’t a drink. It’s a movement.
โธป
• Spring: blossoms + feelings
• Summer: golden hour till 10pm
• Autumn: every tree turns into poetry
• Winter: snowy fairytale meets ski-trip energy
Like Seoul, Almaty is a city that dresses up for each season — even our yogurt has seasonal flavors.
โธป
Seoul: K-pop, retro fits, cafe culture.
Almaty: indie music, vintage markets, rooftop poetry nights.
The city has its own scene. A bit raw, a bit charming, a bit like that one webtoon that never got translated.
โธป
In Korea: “Did you eat?”
In Almaty: “Tamakh zhe, bala.” (“Come eat, child.”)
And then you’re full.
Kazakh food is soulful — like jjigae with cowboy energy.
Miss home? You’ll find ramyeon. Love spice? We’ve got surprise kimchi.
โธป
In Seoul: People respect your space.
In Almaty: People might respectfully invade it ๐
Expect warm welcomes, curious questions, and the occasional “Where are you from?”
But no worries — with GotoAlmaty, you’ve got backup.
We know what’s authentic, what’s overpriced, and where the real magic happens.
