Astana - The Capital of Kazakhstan

Astana is a modern city with a favorable environment attractive for tourists and comfortable for residents and guests of the Kazakh capital to live in.

Astana became the capital of new Kazakhstan in 1998 for a variety of reasons. By the end of the XX century, the country’s former capital Almaty was facing a heap of difficulties hampering further development of the city: the problem of overpopulation (over 1.500.000 inhabitants) ; traffic congestion; deteriorating environmental conditions. Moreover, compact planning of the "southern capital" in practice, restricted modern development of the city.
