About Nur-Sultan
Astana, which carried the name Nur-Sultan from 2019 to 2022, is Kazakhstan's capital, a young city of futuristic towers on the open steppe.
Astana stands on the Ishim River in the middle of the Kazakh steppe, a flat, wind-swept landscape that brings it very cold winters. It replaced Almaty as the capital in 1997, and the city has grown quickly since, with government buildings and towers designed by architects from around the world. The Baiterek, a tall tower topped by a golden sphere, is its emblem, and the city's planned layout crosses the river.
