One of the oldest shopping malls in Almaty. There was no Independent Republic of Kazakhstan yet, but there was already a Central Department Store. Accordingly, this place has such a flair of historicity. Again, the Arbat is nearby. To be honest, I go to the Central Department Store or to the cinema, or for an iPhone case, or to a magnum. But I see a lot of people at the food court, so the food is good there. Boutiques must be visited by someone, otherwise they would have closed. One of the disadvantages is a completely finished parking lot. It's just a shame to have such a complete parking lot in such a shopping center. For this, a minus point. I definitely recommend you to visit. But it's better to walk or take a taxi.
A good shopping center. There are many shops. Many people work in online cash mode, and therefore can make good discounts on the prices of caspi. There are ATMs for cash withdrawals. That's the trouble with parking. There are very few places.
A paid toilet. But although I can understand the desire to earn money, but still. The first floor was occupied by phone sellers and the second. It is already difficult to call it a Central Bank
A lot of shops and salons mainly sell phones. By the way, their price is lower than in other stores. But one for everyone and the price for 1 phone is the same for all sellers
A convenient store, here you can find an anime store, a Magnum supermarket, a bunch of boutiques with phones and accessories. Several exits to the street.
I looked there 15 years later because I saw an empty parking space.Inside, everything has changed, this is no longer the good TSUM from the USSR.The next time I will probably visit there in another 10 years, because I do not visit places where there are problems with parking.
It was so redone and in addition there are no parking spaces there you have to go by taxi or bus

It's quite strange inside - you only see mobile equipment stores, but it turns out that clothing stores are also hidden - even a mini outlet was found.
There are questions about navigation
TSUM is a flea market, it's a pity that such a place was turned into an air terminal with cheap food courts, but they could, following the example of Moscow, create a cool tsum. In general, they cut money and that's it.
The choice of goods is not great, so in general it was normal before, of course, it was much better to be there when I am visiting. I think it will be better in the future. Good luck!
TSUM is a cult place for any city, since there was no shopping mall before, and all people went to TSUM to buy things. Times have changed and large shopping malls have appeared to replace the Central Department Store. But TSUM, in turn, is also trying to develop, a cinema with several floors appeared, overgrown with coffee shops and got a small food court and even a supermarket, which was not in sight before. But the most attractive place is the second floor, there is a large hall where cell phones are sold, any resident of the city knows where to buy a new iPhone at a reasonable price or sell his old phone.
There are guys on the 2nd floor, they have a large counter, we have been walking for 3 years, even the most hopeless phone can be resuscitated. Tsum is Tsum.
Personally, I don't like him. Both prices and service. I bought a smartphone there, I regretted it a hundred times. Only in the interior there is a cinema with two halls and also a Magnum.
