A direct contrast to the modern and glitzy left bank, Nur-Sultan’s Old Town on the right side has its own brand of appeal. With friendly café and sidewalks, snack stands and lively locals, it is worth a stroll or walking tour to explore this part of the city. The right bank is also much cheaper for shopping and accommodations to those travellers on a budget.
