Panfilov Pedestrian Street is the heart of Almaty’s promenade life. The cozy boulevard starts at the famous Abay Opera and Ballet Theatre and leads to the city’s Arbat — a favorite spot for both locals and visitors. Along the way, you’ll find stylish cafés with outdoor terraces, street musicians, fountains, and art installations that create the atmosphere of a European promenade blended with Eastern charm. It’s a wonderful place to stroll any time of year: shady trees offer comfort during the day, while in the evening the street glows with lights and vibrant city life.
