15 things to do in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan Travel Guide Video Transcript:
Greetings from Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan! Hello from Central Asia. It is our first time here and we are going to be spending a few days here in the capital. So we're going to take you on a little tour and show you fifteen things to do around Bishkek.
First up, we visited Ala-Too Square, which is the central plaza in Bishkek. While there isn’t much to do here, it’s one of the city’s major landmarks, plus they also have lots of benches and water fountains where you can take a quick break. From there, we crossed the street and made our way over to the State Historical Museum.
Another place you’ll want to visit in Bishkek is the Osh Bazaar. It may not be the biggest in Central Asia, but it’s a bustling maze where you could easily spend a few hours. We had no problems at the market, but we were warned by several locals to ignore the fake police who may ask to see documents and camera permits. So keep that in mind if you encounter them!
It is shopping time. Next up we're at the Osh bazaar and you can find everything here. We're seen fresh produce, snacks, chocolates, clothes. Right behind me we have an entire aisle dedicated to dry cheese balls.
Directly across from the abandoned casino, you’ll find Victory monument which was built to commemorate the 40th anniversary of World War 2. The three curved arcs represent a yurt, and the sculpture of a woman standing near the eternal flame is meant to symbolize her waiting for her husband and sons to return from the war.
We missed the start of opera and ballet season by just a few days, however, if you’re in the city at the right time.
And if you’re craving a short escape from Bishkek, you can always plan a day hike to the nearby mountains with the Trekking Union.
As far as food goes, there’s plenty to sample ranging from grilled meats to dumplings, and noodles to mixed rice, plus there was one drink that really left an impression on us.
With our time in Bishkek winding down, we made a visit to Oak Park which is full of sculptures, and then we also visited nearby Panfilov Park.
And that’s a wrap for our trip to Bishkek. As you can probably tell from this video, this city is the kind of place that you experience as opposed to ticking off attractions, so it ended up being a fairly relaxing trip after a few busy weeks of travel around Kyrgyzstan. As always, if you have any suggestions of things to do in Bishkek, feel free to share your tips with fellow travellers in the comments section below. See you next time!
This is part of our Travel in Kyrgyzstan video series showcasing Kyrgyz food, Kyrgyz culture and Kyrgyz cuisine.

I spent more than 2 weeks in Kyrgyzstan working together with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the local tourism board to show you an interesting mix of the best things to do in Kyrgyzstan from outdoor adventures and cultural insights to overwhelming food experiences.
Beside checking out the local attractions I got the chance to stay like a local in a yurt camp, went hiking with locals and horse trekking like a true nomad ;)
Even though I spent quite some time in the country I could only focus on the western part and couldn’t go as deep into the mountains as I wanted to as the infrastructure isn’t as developed yet.
This trip was executed within 15 days - following I list all the places I visited & Things to do in Kyrgyzstan:
- Alamuu Yurt Camp
- Karakol
- Issyk-Kul lake
- Bokonbaevo
- Dungan family dinner

The World's Coolest Unknown City? Bishkek Travel Vlog
On this episode, I explore Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, a place I knew nothing about until today.
My photos of Bishkek are on Instagram at @brendanvanson.
It's amazing how certain places in the world just seem to hide away. And, I guess, a lot of that has to do with the fact that some of them are just a long ways away from everything else. I think that must be the case of Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. The city is basically in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by a few other Central Asian cities that too go largely unnoticed by the world. But, the fact that the city is fairly unknown doesn't mean it's not worthy.
Within a couple minutes of wandering around Bishkek today I knew that it was special. It's kind of trendy, hip, and friendly. The cafe I went to was fantastic. It felt like a place you might find somewhere in Southeast Asia - without the cheesy cat cafe theme. The staff was friendly, and if it wasn't for a bit of rain, it would have been the perfect way to spend the afternoon.
After hiding from that bit of Kyrgyz rain, I headed out to explore some of the sights around Bishkek. I was really impressed with the amount of parks and plazas around the city. There were so many green and social places dotted around the core making Bishkek an extremely green urban space.
And, the architecture too was really cool.
Late in the afternoon, I headed to Osh Bazaar, one of the oldest markets in Central Asia. It was really cool, but I got there a bit late so missed out on a lot of the action. I also found out that Kyrgyz people are extremely shy. Trying to get portraits proved to be a bit of a mission.
So, I headed back to the main square to shoot photography at sunset. I was blessed with just some killer light as the skies over Kyrgyzstan just lit up.
I had a lot of fun shooting photography at the plaza and think I came away with some pretty cool images. Again, I think Bishkek might be one of the coolest unknown cities in the world. The term off the beaten path if far too overused these days, but this is one of those great off the beaten path destination.
Tomorrow, the Kyrgyzstan travel vlog heads towards the countryside and out of Bishkek.

A Country in Central Asia
Kyrgyzstan is a rugged Central Asian country along the Silk Road, the ancient trade route between China and the Mediterranean.
The Tian Shan mountains, which surround the old caravan route and dominate the country, are home to snow leopards, lynx, and sheep. In the south, the millennia-old city of Osh has a huge, busy bazaar that was once a stop on the Silk Road.
