Almaty Sights

  1. Arasan Baths

    At the Arasan Baths you can choose from Russian (Russkaya), Finnish ( Finskaya ) and Turkish (Turetskaya) baths, the latter with three different temperatures of heated stone platforms plus a plunge pool. Each part has men's and women's sections. Take along soap, a towel and some thongs (flip-flops) for walking around in. Go with a friend or two and you'll find it's an enjoyable and truly relaxing experience. If you don't have any bathing gear handy, there's a shop in the lobby.
