Price calculated. Change the date or destination if you like.
Getting from Astana Airport (NQZ) to ALZHIR Memorial (Akmol) takes about 45 min by car on an empty road (45–55 min in heavy traffic) over 44 km via KZ01-01 and KZ03-01. Our private transfer costs €60 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €85 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.
On arrival: The driver waits in the arrivals area of the terminal your flight lands at (Terminal 1 or Terminal 2), after baggage claim and the exit from the controlled zone, holding a sign with your name. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.
The ALZHIR memorial stands in the village of Akmol, formerly Malinovka, about 44 km by road from the airport. The route follows the Astana ring road around the western side of the city and then turns onto the highway towards Korgalzhyn, which crosses open steppe with farmland and small settlements. The road is a two-lane country highway without tolls. In winter, snowdrifts and strong steppe winds can make driving slower, and the light fades early in the afternoon.
ALZHIR, the Akmola camp for wives of traitors to the motherland, held thousands of women whose husbands had been repressed in the Stalin era; it operated from 1938 into the 1950s. The museum and memorial complex opened in 2007 on the site of the camp. Its most recognisable feature is the Arch of Sorrow, a tall metal arch at the end of a paved alley, with memorial walls listing names around the square. The museum building stands beside the monument, and a car park lies at the entrance from the village street.
Public transport: No public transport links the airport with the ALZHIR memorial: the airport buses No. 10 and No. 12 only serve the city, and the memorial lies in the village of Akmol about 40 km west of Astana.
