Astana is the capital city of Kazakhstan, a country located in Central Asia. Astana is a modern and vibrant city full of stunning architecture, green parks and plenty of shopping centers. It was first founded as a small settlement in 1830 but slowly grew into the beautiful modern metropolis it is today.

A great tourist destination to visit in Astana is the Khan Shatyr Entertainment Center, an incredible building designed by Norman Foster. The center contains shopping malls, restaurants and event venues making it an ideal spot for leisure activities. Another interesting tourist spot to explore is Bayterek Tower, which offers stunning panoramic views over the city landscape from its observation deck at 97 meters above ground level.

An interesting historical fact about Astana dates back to 1998 when the city replaced Almaty as the capital of Kazakhstan due to its more central location and better transport infrastructure. Since then, Astana has become home to many government offices and diplomatic missions thus becoming an important political hub for Central Asia.
