Trhy a bazary v Astaně

Local Markets & Bazaars

Astana's retail landscape features a mix of traditional bazaars and modern supermarket chains. Traditional markets like Shapagat and Kok Bazar specialize in regional Kazakh products, including horse meat, dried fruits, and fermented dairy like kurt. These hubs offer a glimpse into local trade practices alongside major retailers like Magnum and Small, which provide 24-hour access to household essentials and international brands. Most of these markets are concentrated in the city's historic right-bank district.
