Introducing Pavlodar
A further 320km down the Irtysh valley from Semey, on the road to Omsk in Russia, Pavlodar was developed as an industrial town in Soviet times. Its skyline is dominated by massive, rabbit-hole-style Soviet-era apartment blocks, but quiet Lenina on the western edge of town has pre-Soviet character and a few good museums.

The Irtysh forms the western boundary of the city, with the main street, Satpaeva, running parallel a couple of blocks east. Kutuzova, 1.5km further east, is another north–south axis. Toraygyrova runs across the north ends of both streets, continuing 300m east past Kutuzova to the bus and train stations.
