Baikonur has been given some of the best years of its life. Service, work, life. Everything was interesting. A huge facility with unique structures and history. Now, unfortunately, there is no more go. What to see? Excursion - they will show the museum, the house of Korolev and Gagarin, take them to the start, show the launch (they will take a lot of money, though, capitalism). Someone will like it, someone will not get into it. It's stupid to advise.

Visiting Baikonur makes a great impression. This is not just a place for rocket launches, but also an important historical site where the spirit of the era of space exploration is felt. The infrastructure of the cosmodrome is impressive in its scale, and many memorable places and museums allow for a deeper understanding of the achievements and difficulties faced by participants in space programs.

The place impresses with its grandiose structures and vast expanses, a place of contrasts, pride and sadness. The remains of some more highly developed civilization.
Grazing horses and the platform from which the first cosmonaut of the planet launched, camels and a crumbling workshop with a blizzard.
The launch of the rocket gives incredible impressions, especially at night, especially manned, the atmosphere is amazing.

The Baikonur Cosmodrome has left an indelible impression due to its history, unique atmosphere and exciting rocket launches. This is a place where dreams become reality, and the history of cosmonautics comes alive before our eyes.

The wonderful city is an open-air museum of cosmonautics. Clear. We were passing through with the children. The time of the USSR has stopped here. Russian payment cards are working. The turnover is in Russian rubles. ATMs serve Russian cards.

I was not lucky enough to visit the cosmodrome itself, we drove past and this grandiose structure can be seen from the road. But even if you are not going to get on an excursion to the cosmodrome itself, but you are passing in the Baikonur area, then I advise you to spend a few minutes and turn off the highway towards checkpoint 7 and visit the Proton-M exposition (you can type in a search engine) with stands and models of rockets and satellites.

Visiting Baikonur is like traveling through time. Here you can see unique structures related to space, as well as feel the atmosphere of the Soviet era. The city is quiet, the people are hospitable, but the climate is harsh — hot summers and cold winters.

One of the amazing towns that has left a huge mark on the history of space. I have lived there for almost 10 years. A cozy, enclosed oasis in the middle of the desert. For once in your life, I advise you to go there and watch a rocket launch ♥️

A place where rockets fly away faster than my vacation. You come there, you look at all this power and you think, "Well, when am I going to retire like this?" Everything looks epic!The main thing is, don't forget to take binoculars, because everything is small in person, like my chance to return there someday. In general, it is spectacular, but far away. And not only geographically

I am very glad that I was able to visit the cosmodrome. The area is very significant for my homeland, the closed city of Baikonur. It is very interesting in Baikonur, it seems that you go through time and get into the past in the Soviet Union. All apartments are owner-less, all houses are state-owned. The land under the city of Baikonur is only leased by the Russian Federation, and therefore houses and apartments are not transferred to ownership. A quiet, peaceful city. very good-natured, hospitable people live in Baikonur. However, the climatic conditions in this city are very harsh, in summer it is very hot, the temperature reaches up to 60 * and in winter it is cold.

Unique emotions! Delight. A separate difficult quest is to get there and back. As soon as you get into the caring hands of the organizers, life becomes wonderful until you get to the airport again)
I recommend not to go "on the last funds". Have a reserve of 30% of the amount with you to change tickets, extend your hotel reservation, etc. This is not a movie theater session, the launch itself may be canceled or postponed.

It's a good memorial. I explored it all as a child. The city itself is very beautiful, especially in spring, when everything is green and not burnt by the summer sun.

It's a beautiful city, and I've left indelible impressions. The romance is incredible, if I'm lucky, then next time I'll definitely go with someone else, be sure to take a soulmate, even Baikonur itself, not counting the cosmodrome, is aesthetics.

I was there once in my life about 50 years ago. It was very interesting to get acquainted with the work of the cosmodrome there. However, the living conditions for the northern man are almost unbearable. In summer it is terribly hot, in winter it is very cold...

An excellent spaceport, it was a little tedious to expect a docking with the ISS, next time it would be faster, but as a whole it is normal. The food is good, you fly comfortably. The boarding waiting area is 5+. In general, I recommend it.

The warmest memories are of my favorite city, the city of Leninsk. My childhood and school years were spent here, and from here I went to study in another city. I always remember our city, the city of squares, flowers, cleanliness and order. And tulips, what kind of tulips are there, there are no such anywhere else! I remember how dad brought mom these tulips and the smell was all over the apartment! Those who have not experienced a sense of pride for their country, being on Baikonur, they calmly watch TV and listen to messages about new rocket launches! And I'm still celebrating April 12th 'Cosmonautics Day'! And I am proud of my country! And I remember my Leninsk with nostalgia!....

It was back in the USSR. Then it was grandiose and solemn. There was a feeling of contact with something very important. Space is great. Even if you have nothing to do with it.

a very good spaceport. I really like it, I've been there 1 time. It's very cool, but you just have to get across the steppe. I had to drive a Land Rover on a loaf. You can also walk. in short, we met 1 grandmother, asked the way. Well, in short, they said it was cool. We found a blizzard, well, we looked at it, and went back to Moscow.

A cosmic place! I was at the launch of the Soyuz 2.1a launch vehicle with the Soyuz MS-26 manned module.
There are many platforms, several launch tables, including active ones.

Great place! Of course, it does not compare with Cabbage Yar, but there is also something to see! Astronauts only constantly shout: "Let's go!“ instead, they flew, but it's probably like sailors "walk", not swim!

The rooms are very cold, the additional heater could not fix the situation, I had to sleep in clothes and under a blanket, of course I understand the savings, but 4000 rubles per day, not for the most comfortable single room, also in the cold, this is arrogance

It's an amazing place, but at the same time it's sad to watch it die.. Of the 33 launch sites, 3 remain. There are several ghost towns on the territory. But it is definitely worth visiting and preferably at the launch of the rocket! For those in love with space and technology, I definitely recommend going there.

For me, this is the best place on earth. And it's the best because my childhood was spent here in Leninsk. When my parents and I moved to Moscow back in 1984, I didn't want to put up with it for a very long time, I was very bored, I threw tantrums at my parents. I cherish the idea that one day my family and I will get in a car and go to visit Baikonur, because the distance from Moscow is only 2,600 km. Unfortunately, our house on Ostasheva Street is no longer residential. I really hope that remembering the great history of this city, the powers that be will not let it completely fall apart. After all, this is the pride of our country. The memory of how a path once trodden into space, now thanks to this cosmodrome, has turned into a high-speed highway!

If you want to get there, register in advance, both in the star city where there are hotels, cafes, and on Baikonur itself.
So, if you want to fly from the highway to Baikonur hotel, etc... It won't work.
If you got in at night, like us, without the Internet and no idea where to sleep.
Go to the railway station, there is a hotel at the station. You can sleep...
