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. Change things up with a short trip to Burana Tower in Tokmok (about 1h 25 min away). There's still lots to do: take in the dramatic natural features at Ala-Archa Gorge, admire the masterpieces at Museum of Fine Arts, contemplate the long history of Ala-Too Square, and buy something for everyone on your list at Bishkek Park.
