Itinerary for Major Asian Capitals (page 2 of 2)

Hi,

Ankara, the Kemalist city, is less religious than Istanbul in my opinion, but it doesn’t seem like a good fit for your itinerary at all. If anything, though, Astana is a very modern city that’s representative of this "capitals of Asia" theme.

It's hard to say which city is more religious than the other because I think it really depends on the neighborhoods you're in. Especially in Istanbul.

Astana is a good idea, but a whole week there might feel long. A combo of Astana and Almaty could be a great alternative.
