Almaty and Astana, Kazakhstan's current and former capitals, meld the old-world charm of Eastern Europe with a more modern, Western atmosphere. Stunning architecture, hip lounge bars, breathtaking mosques, and divine skiing slopes are just a few aspects of this unique region. Eschewing all dry historical information in favor of clear, precise lists of only the hottest locales in town, this guide is the go-to resource for the truly hedonistic traveler.

This review is from: A Hedonist's Guide to Almaty and Astana (Hardcover)
This is an indispensable guide to all the great restaurants, bars, and clubs in Almaty (I didn't travel to Astana). The information was accurate 99% of the time (there are online updates anyway) and the locals were blown away at my knowledge, which often exceeded their own.
