The green capital · Kyrgyzstan
Soviet boulevards, Osh Bazaar and the mountains at the end of the street.
Bishkek is Kyrgyzstan’s capital and its gateway. Laid out in the Soviet period on a grid of tree-lined avenues, it has parks, a lively café scene and Osh Bazaar, one of the most colourful markets in Central Asia.
The Kyrgyz Range rises directly to the south, and Ala Archa National Park is less than an hour away.
