A clean, good train station.
The grannies are really sitting there selling fruits at inflated prices and they also shove Polish apples like Almaty aport)
Great you can even spend the night right inside the weight persanal polite kind people you still have thank you very much 3 days to shelter our team was very grateful on your part
The station has changed recently, the level of safety, comfort and service. Do not forget that this is Asia, so you need to be prepared for the local flavor and traditions
Located in the city, it is convenient to get to any part of the city. Very annoying taxi drivers who try to put you in a car without a price agreement and then roll out the amount upon arrival. Yandex taxi works very well with a fixed rate. A polite taxi driver will arrive in a clean car and take you where you need to go.
Excellent train station, all within walking distance

A typical, classic train station is located in the city center. The building was built in 1939, after which it was reconstructed and completed in 1977, and is an architectural monument. The station has 2 platforms and 12 tracks. Inside the station there is a pharmacy, shops with souvenirs, accessories for phones, all around the waiting room. Ticket offices and luggage storage are located in the west wing. There seems to be a cafe, but I didn't go there.
I want places like the train station to always please their passengers with cleanliness and comfort. Therefore, the administration should pay more attention to this!!
I rarely visit. It is unclear why this frame is at the entrance, no one really checks, the bags stupidly pass through the tape. In the help desk, they generally told the wrong information upon arrival of the train. I had to find out on the Internet when the train would arrive.
Parking is very small and not convenient, there are no questions for the staff, the station itself as an architectural structure built in 1939 is super, but it does not meet modern requirements. It is very small, not convenient for large passenger traffic. Spontaneous trade on peron speaks about the lack of rules and order, in no case do I want to offend the people who do this, I understand that it is not from a good life and people need to earn money. Toilets are a separate topic, thanks to the cleaners who try to keep them clean, and the deplorable condition of the equipment in these rooms, this is not a question for them. In general, I was not impressed, it does not correspond to a developing city.
I am always looking for trains departing from Almaty railway station—2. All procedures for sending passengers are put on the proper level. I have been using the services of our train station for 43 years. We saw off and met our relatives and friends, many are no longer with us, and the memory of these moments, nostalgia remain with us forever.
Almaty 2 railway station was built in 1936-1939. Let's leave it as an architectural monument. Personally, I like the building - it's small, cozy and such a native piece of childhood.
The Almaty2 railway station was built in 1939, built in a classical style.
The facade of the building with a colonnade with an original arched structure is beautifully presented . The architecture is expressed in a combination of classical and
national Kazakh style. It is a significant architectural monument of the city
Almaty ( Alma Ata ) The building is located on Abylai Khan Avenue.
I really like Almaty station 2, the location is convenient, transport, in particular bus 12 (the route was extended, which is very convenient, now those who live in the upper part of the city can easily get to the station. ) The station is clean, everything is accessible, the toilets are neat, a convenient waiting place, everything is displayed on the scoreboard, departure-arrival time. The poisoning sites of the compounds are also quite clean. I'm glad. Thanks!
It is good that the historical appearance of the station has been preserved.
The station is not large in size, it is clean enough, there are not many seats.
It is convenient that there is this second station, from which it is shorter to get to the city center.
There are movers' services.
It's good that there is a parking lot nearby that is not expensive with a lot of places.
For drivers, be careful there is often a tow truck working there, so do not leave the car under prohibited signs.
The station is so-so for a C grade
5,6 trolleybuses and 12 buses are going to it.
The boring design inside is so-so.
Here he will roll back for 20 years, so he looked more lively.
In general, there is little positive change in Almaty.
The location of the station is very pleasing, repairs and sanitation are zero, of course I would like the best, the workers are arrogant, the toilet is not clear where, it seems 1 station is better in appearance

The ancient Almaty railway station. Small by modern standards. Inside the building there are waiting areas, a hotel, many shops and eateries. There is a luggage room. One of the disadvantages is the problem with parking the car. There are very few parking lots.
The front side of the vocals is still normal, but inside the milking robots the road is all killed by potholes, moreover, the barrier to the historical one constantly breaks and that broke instead of the barrier there is all the torn rope that is stretched so that cars do not pass, at least the lariat would buy that the lighting is practically not there, almost to the touch workers walk, well, most likely workers are not guests at we are only for guests and therefore only the central one, and the back one will go now it's raining slush and you can't see the pits, repairs will begin when one of the workers gets injured going to work
The beautiful train station is clean everywhere, I really liked it.the staff is very polite, the parking lot nearby is very convenient, the ticket office is clean, well done, there is no queue at the ticket office.
An old and tortured train station, but there is something about it, childhood is remembered.
But the main problem is traffic jams at the train station and a terrible lack of parking
First of all, I live nearby, I'm already used to it. Very close to the center, any transport. You can get to the city without any problems. Now they have made a road, benches are all around, trees have been planted, flowers are all around. Oh
, everything is fine, but one problem is that the police often control and clean up drunk people without a fixed place of residence. They feel very good here, they have set up a recreation area. That's the only problem. And so everything is wonderful, the light is on, it's light all around, the fountain will be turned on soon. Thanks to the former Mayor, Mr. Baibek.
Minus parking is too heavy, there are a lot of cars, there is practically no place, the pros are a very good train station you will find everything there from fruits to drinks the station is not small inside everything is comfortable
Firstly, the building of the Almaty-2 railway station is a historical value, an architectural monument of the country. Parking is quite acceptable, at least much better than in Astana. Cars are parked freely even near the train station, no paid parking for you. The staff is polite, no fuss, jostling, as in Almaty-1. Nevertheless, there are fewer trains from here than in the first Almaty - this also affects, apparently, the influx of passengers.
There are no smoking rooms (is it difficult to make near the tracks?), the land crossings are good, but they need to be done, the GDR wagons of 1993, the air conditioners did not work in the carriage. I do not recommend smoking in the wrong places, the police officers are very attentive. I liked the conductors, special thanks, the cars are clean. In general, it's time to build a new train station, and make one lane at the entrance to the station non-stop for cars, and the second specifically with a stop of up to 5 minutes (for unloading luggage, disembarking or boarding passengers)
I was there this winter, Almaty is a beautiful city. The train station is a mess as always. Our entire train with suitcases and bags came out of the second track and climbed through the first track until the train arrived on the first track.
This train was 1.5 hours late, so it also came on the third way! It is very difficult to get from the third way with children's belongings. The station needs to be reconstructed!
You just can't get here there is no zone for disembarking passengers at all, plus a million cameras, but buses and trolleybuses have a dedicated lane, as if people only drive to the station on them and not by cars and taxis, especially when they are late, there are also few comfortable seats inside, like the waiting room, everyone is standing on the platform and they are all scared away by the welcoming conductor, and so on but the main thing is the drop-off and landing area on the street
A good train station, in a convenient location. The disadvantage is that getting off trains from secondary tracks is very very inconvenient, especially for the older generation. Still, the metro is nearby, otherwise taxi drivers charge more in the city than you arrive by train.
The railways of Kazakhstan leave much to be desired trains run with huge delays the service is terrible just a disaster it feels like there is simply no owner
Minus, there are few ticket offices that are free to hand over tickets. Some are commercial.
Minus a very dirty toilet in the station building.
Another disadvantage is that it is impossible to get off the train to the station platform when several trains arrive. Going up the passage is still that extreme. In winter, the icy steps prepare you for hospitalization.
Of the advantages, a stop nearby is no problem to go anywhere.
The station has remained in the distant past. The transition to the second, third and fourth paths takes a lot of time and effort. Especially if there is a train on the first track. Either you can bypass the train on the pedestrian bridge, or you can have fun with heavy suitcases
