Travel to Ashgabat
Ashgabat serves as the capital of Turkmenistan and places visitors centrally between the peaks of the Kopet Dag and the Karakum Desert. Founded in 1881, the city became the capital of the region under Soviet rule beginning in 1924. A vast majority of the city was destroyed in a 1948 earthquake, but extensive restoration efforts have turned this city into a shining jewel in recent years.
What makes this city so unique is the extensive number of parks and squares that are available to explore. Many of them were established in the early years of Turkmenistan’s independence. You’ll find a botanical garden, a park dedicated to Turkish friendship, and a park created to serve as an independence memorial. The oldest park in the city was established in 1887.
Be sure to visit Inspiration Alley during your stay. This complex is one-part park and one-part art gallery.
The World of Turmenbashi Tales is a theme park that was designed by local architects to serve as a Turkmen version of a Walt Disney park. It opened in 2006 and provides 100 acres of rides and recreation that take visitors through the fairy tales and folk art of the culture. More than 80 attractions are currently part of the theme park. There are several cinemas to enjoy in the city, along with palaces and religious sites to explore.
Ashgabat may not be the first choice of many when planning a holiday, but it is definitely worthy of consideration. You will find it to be an amazing city that is filled with plenty of opportunity.
