There is a very famous and more affordable and local market here in which basically you can see stalls of vegetables and spices, meat, fish and fruits and you will also get Indian spicy.
This is the best market for fresh agricultural products, there are many sellers, among whom you will definitely find your own, a large selection at prices that are generally better than in stores. But for this bazaar, which is wonderful in all respects, I would like the administration to ensure perfect cleanliness in the toilets, which leaves much to be desired, there is always a terrible smell, except for a small bathroom on the second floor of the old building... and the administration should have already made it perfectly paved or tiled around and inside the bazaar, this is the same place where not only residents of the city come, but also its guests, including foreign ones, it is a shame not to ensure cleanliness in the toilets and high-quality paths of such a city landmark!
The Green Bazaar in Almaty is the oldest market in the city. Here you can buy a lot of interesting things, starting from national goodies and ending with jewelry ...
As in any oriental bazaar, you have to bargain here. Sellers, for the most part, are very fussy and friendly. I especially liked the rows with all sorts of nuts and dried fruits, they give you a taste of everything. While two rows have passed, we have had enough :)
If you like horse meat and meat delicacies, then this market has the largest selection. We bought smoked kazy (horse meat sausage), packed it in a vacuum bag and also gave us a piece of dried meat as a gift.
I definitely recommend visiting all the guests of the city! But keep in mind that the market is large, two-tiered, and it will hardly be possible to get around it in an hour. Personally, I spent half a day there and am very happy. It's like a paradise for a shopaholic 🤩👍
By the way, there are various cafes on the territory where you can taste national cuisine. Nowhere is meat cooked so divinely as in Kazakhstan 🥰
The landmark of Almaata is the Green Bazaar. Where there is a large assortment.Fruits, vegetables, nuts, sweets.So there are industrial goods. There are a lot of tourists coming by the summer. Listen to the speech of those from Georgia, Dubai, and Russia.There are a lot of students from India.But the group came from China. So it gets lively all around. Vegetables are imported from Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. You notice the queue for the horse kazy. Who buys smoked kazy, deer. Fish for every taste, fresh, finished. Variety of meat: horse meat, beef, chicken, pork. No one leaves empty-handed. There is a Turkish Delight factory nearby.That's an assortment of candies, chocolates.Cookies.Everyone is trying to be taken to their homeland. To please your loved ones. May our Kazakhstan flourish.
The legendary market. You can find anything in a different price range.
I usually buy herbal teas and fruits and vegetables. But you need to be careful and ask the price first. Since the place is a tourist destination, the price tag may be overstated. Of course, this does not apply to everyone, but incidents do occur.
There are cool cafes on the second floor where you can drink coffee and take a break from shopping) and also take cool photos from an interesting angle.
A Soviet building with its own entourage, many tourists are concentrated in the historical part, where there are many different products from dried fruits to meat. In 2024, we can see a trend towards reforming the grocery market into a space where you can buy food and eat, cafes and interesting shops with unique products from Italy and China have opened. A large fish shop with a large selection of fish and seafood, caviar, as well as snacks and delicacies has recently opened.
One of the best tourist places where you can buy a variety of national food and taste it on the spot. Inside there is a large pavilion with meat, fruits and vegetables. Horse meat sausages, sweets, teas. In general, there is everything you can eat in Kazakhstan. There are also several cafes. I come here once a week to buy horse meat, Greek butter, olives, etc. I recommend
Excellent market, especially the fish and sausage and meat departments and much more
A huge selection of products and, of course, the freshest quality products are here!
I would especially like to highlight the fish shop and its owner 592/1 Nazif! I want to thank her for her constant warm welcome and discounts.
A wonderful tourist destination, a selection of goods for every taste, from exotic to purely national. Clean, tidy, we had coffee on the 2nd floor gallery, I did not expect that there could be such a fine coffee on the market! I recommend you to visit! There is a Turkish Delight factory nearby - sweets for every taste!
A beautiful and very colorful bazaar (market) where you can find many national products and goods of Kazakh culture. The most valuable thing for us is horse meat products. There is also a huge selection of spices, fermented dairy products, dried fruits, etc.
A must-see place for tourists visiting Almaty.
A gorgeous place! A must-see for tourists, especially the central covered pavilion. A fascinating variety, the ability to put on the counter, you can always try and of course choose and buy. But if this is not an excursion, then you need to manage to find the entrance to the former technical premises under the central covered pavilion and then you can also buy much cheaper. There is everything from food, vegetables and fruits, things and household goods, maybe only large-sized for construction can not be found, but even then there are doubts, maybe I have not yet found the right entrance to the right room.
The coolest bazaar in Almaty. I really like to walk around it. You can always buy something interesting, starting with groceries and ending with souvenirs. The prices are excellent. Vegetables are always fresh. The meat is super. You can go through the duffel bag. Everything is convenient "at hand" and you don't have to go far. Recommend.
Well, a bazaar is like a bazaar, only big. visited in January 2025. On sale, as in any bazaar, the choice is standard. Of the special ones, there is a boutique/store of Chinese products, very entertaining. We bought nuts at the bazaar, honey, and Aport apples (a unique apple variety known in Almaty). I recommend the Green Bazaar to visit, but once is enough if you are a tourist.
A wonderful place with a unique history. A huge selection of products, about 700 trading platforms. The quality of the goods is at the highest level, as certificates are required here. Parking is large, the location is convenient
The location of the bazaar is excellent, it is always clean, there are many different goods from food to textiles and appliances, everything is conveniently located, prices are reasonable, fresh meat is always available for any feast.
An interesting place. A variety of goods, from vegetables and fruits, to clothes, meat, sausage, toys, etc. The prices are quite pleasant, the atmosphere of an ordinary bazaar)
Those who live nearby are lucky. And you can also meet the famous butcher here))
There is a very large selection, excellent quality, and incredibly friendly people, both sellers and buyers. One of the favorite places in Almaty. He lived nearby, ran after kazy and onion cakes every day.
The place is legendary, in my opinion, it does not deserve a lower rating. I recommend every guest of the city to visit the Green Bazaar and leave with a purchase. My impressions are only positive. I bought fruits and cherries — they tasted and looked like they were in the top ten.
It's expensive here.
I am writing this review more than a year and a half after my trip to Almaty. Yes, maybe compared to reviews of other places, this review sounds brighter ... but to each his own)
A huge selection of fresh products and affordable prices.
This is not the first time we have bought gifts for our family on this particular market. Everything is fresh and high-quality. And the most important thing is that the sellers will not let you go without gifts and small surprises!
