Baiterek

Baiterek is the most prominent symbol of Astana and Kazakhstan as a whole. It was completed in 2002 by designer Akmursa Rustembekov and his team. Local tourists and foreign visitors come here and enjoy the stunning scenes from this tower. Baiterek is meant to embody a Kazakh folk tale about a mythical tree of life and a magic bird of happiness, named Samruk, which is believed to have laid its egg between the branches of this mythic tree.

Baiterek Tower is situated on Nurjol Boulevard, a pedestrian zone in the business and administrative centre on the left bank of the Ishim river in Nur-Sultan. The height of the top floor is 97 meters and if we include an antenna spire, it becomes 105 meters. The Baiterek Tower has a mesmerizing look and the fountain, park, and green grass add beauty to it. If you buy a ticket you can go to the observation deck and get a 360-degree view of the surrounding city. At the top lies a gilded handprint of the president of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Äbishuly Nazarbayev, which is actually mounted on a pedestal.
