8 days in Bishkek Itinerary

Wandering the grid-like, tree-lined streets of Bishkek, you'll discover the friendly atmosphere, vibrant nightlife, and Soviet-era architecture of the country's political center.

You've now added Spa Center Afrodita and Apollo to your itinerary. Step out of Bishkek to go to Tokmok and see Burana Tower, which is approximately 1h 25 min away. There's still lots to do: explore the wealth of natural beauty at Ala-Archa Gorge, contemplate the long history of Ala-Too Square, don't miss a visit to Monument to Manas the Great, and appreciate the views at Boom Gorge.
