4 days in Bishkek Itinerary

Wandering the grid-like, tree-lined streets of Bishkek, you'll discover the friendly atmosphere, vibrant nightlife, and Soviet-era architecture of the country's political center.

Change things up with a short trip to Burana Tower in Tokmok (about 1h 25 min away). There's much more to do: explore the striking landscape of Ala-Archa Gorge, appreciate the history behind Vladimir Lenin Statue, browse the eclectic array of goods at Osh Bazaar, and make a trip to Flagstaff With Country Flag.
