Dostyk Plaza

About the place

A central shopping complex close to the Palace of the Republic and Dostyk Avenue.

About this place

Dostyk Plaza is a shopping complex beside Dostyk Avenue that can fit into a trip around central Almaty. Its shops and food options make it a useful stop without turning the entire day into a tour of shopping centres.

If combining shopping with a walk, choose your main activity at the complex first and build the rest of the day around it. Individual businesses can have different schedules, so check your chosen store or screening rather than relying only on the mall's hours.
