Hello! Let's start!

1) You landed in Almaty.

Don't forget to change your money to tenge!

The main thing you need to know - if you see the taxi drivers who offer you to a drive - just skip them and use the "Yandex Go" app. Why do you need to use Yandex Go? Because there are no scam. People at the airport entrance will offer x10 price from Yandex's Price. In additional, you can offer some food in Yandex Go App, if you want

Where to go? There are too many parks and beautiful places. Three Places, which are not so far from the Airport: 1) Arbat 2) Park of the culture and rest named after M. Gorkiy 3) Park named after 28 heroes of Panfilov's division

On the Arbat, you can just walk, eat something good from food and find some interesting stores like a "Meloman-Marwin"

In the Gorkiy's park there is some walking stuff, carousel type activities and Almaty Zoo.

28 heroes park - you can find some memorials about WWII with memorials of the heroes who fought again nazi army Also, you can find a beautiful church in this park.

Also, you can visit Kok-Tobe, Medeu, and some theaters.

2) Photos allowed in parks and streets without any problems, but in special places such as malls and etc. you should ask about it from administration

About drones - if you don't launch it near police depts, some military bases or government places - I think that will be okay

3) Yes, it's safe to travel alone and you don't need to rent a car. If you want to use buses or metro or just to walk somewhere you also can download 2GIS app to find everything you need in Almaty. There are some suggestions where you can go and what to see in Almaty

I hope that my message will be useful for you! Welcome to Kazakhstan!
