Visit top attractions in Bishkek 

 Despite being Kyrgyzstan’s capital, Bishkek is a fairly new city. It was founded in 1825 and chosen due to its proximity to the Chuy River. Because of its newness, there aren’t that many historical sights to see in Bishkek; however, there is still a wealth of culture and Kyrgyz traditions to entertain tourists.  

• Ala-Too Square 

Bishkek’s central square was built in 1984 and originally named Lenin Square to celebrate the Soviet Socialist Republic. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the square was renamed to Ala-Too, and a large monument was erected to signify freedom. It is a key spot for celebrations, parades, and state events in the city.  

• State History Museum  

While visiting the square, why not pop into the State History Museum? This museum is deemed one of the most important in the whole of Central Asia and is home to 1,000s of exhibits about the cultural heritage of Kyrgyzstan. Artefacts inside range from the more modern to those from the Bronze Age.   

• Ala Archa National Park  

Kyrgyzstan is known for its natural beauty, and Ala Archa is a prime example. This breathtaking National Park is just 25 miles outside of Bishkek. Visitors come to this park to marvel at its striking gorge, hike, and participate in other adventurous activities. To get there, simply get a cab from the city; the journey takes approximately 30 minutes.

If you want to experience Kyrgyz culture first-hand, then make sure you visit one of the city’s lively bazaars.

Bishkek is home to an abundance of good cafes and coffee shops. Why not spend a few hours relaxing on one on Avenue, which is one of the city’s busiest roads? We recommend Sierra Coffee – a popular coffee shop with multiple locations across Bishkek.

There are a plethora of beautiful parks in Kyrgyzstan’s capital, which are sure to delight tourists. It’s hard to call out just a few worth visiting, but here are three we recommend: Bishkek Oak Park boasts sculptures that page homage to themes of war and peace. Panfilova Park features amusement rides that are guaranteed to entertain the whole family. And Bishkek Victory Park is perfect for those who love cycling. Victory Park has many cycling routes, and bicycle-renting kiosks, throughout.

Culture and Traditions in Bishkek  

Kyrgyzstan has a nomadic heritage, and much of the country’s culture and traditions stem from these roots. Kyrgyz cuisine is an excellent example of this, as meat and dairy products feature heavily. The national drink is ‘Kumis,’ which is made from fermented mare’s milk – it’s not dissimilar from kefir!  

Kyrgyz people are usually very welcoming towards guests, with many believing that an unexpected guest is God-sent. As a result, don’t be surprised if you find yourself invited to dine with a local.
