My Top Picks: Where to Stay in Bishkek

Is Bishkek worth visiting?

Yes! Bishkek is a city worth exploring, especially if you’re interested in a mix of Soviet-era architecture, bustling bazaars, and a glimpse into the country’s evolving urban culture. However, while Bishkek has its charms, it’s only the gateway to the true treasures of Kyrgyzstan.

I recommend staying in Bishkek for a day or two to soak in the city’s history and experience the local life. Visit Ala-Too Square, shop at Osh Bazaar, and enjoy the cafes and restaurants that offer delicious Kyrgyz cuisine. But after you’ve explored the city, make sure to head out into Kyrgyzstan’s stunning natural landscapes.

For a more adventurous experience, consider a horse trek around Song Kul lake or trekking the stunning Ala Kul lake, where you’ll witness some of the country’s most breathtaking landscapes. This is where Kyrgyzstan’s true beauty unfolds, far beyond the city streets of Bishkek.

In short, Bishkek is a great starting point, but the real adventure of Kyrgyzstan lies beyond the city.

Best neighborhoods to stay in Bishkek 

I personally think that if you want to see the essentials of Bishkek, then the best option for you is to choose a location around Chuy Avenue which basically means location between Osh Bazaar to Victory Square. 

I would like to highlight points such as Ala Too Square, Victory Square and Panfilov Park because these are probably the main points where you will be exploring the city. 

If you consider staying near bus stations that is also an option but taxis in Bishkek especially via apps such as DriveIn and YandexGO are not so expensive, so does the public transport (20 SOM per ride). You can use app 2gis.kg for finding bus schedules. This app is really good. 

So the location of the bus station doesn’t have to be as necessary as you might think at the moment.
