Discover Bishkek

Welcome to Bishkek, the Kyrgyz Republic's capital! Nestled by the Tien Shan mountains inside the Chui Valley, this city is famous for its natural wonders and amazing hiking trails. A former Soviet state, Kyrgyzstan is filled with tree-lined boulevards, large canals, and marble-front architecture. Its capital is known for having a fun nightlife, great outdoor activities, and an abundance of pastimes for tourists, despite being relatively undiscovered by Western travellers.

Bishkek is served by Manas International Airport (FRU), which is located north of city center. This airport hosts many major airlines, travelling from Asia and Europe. Unfortunately, direct flights from Canada aren't offered. Skyscanner can help you find the cheapest airfare to Bishkek with our Cheapest Month search tool.
