What do I need to know before moving to Bishkek?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Bishkek, they said...
"I recommend living in the city of Bishkek. Everything is in walking distance and there are nice parks," remarked another expat in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.
"Before moving to Bishkek, expats should be aware that the city is located in a seismically active region and is prone to earthquakes. Expats should also be aware that the city experiences extreme temperatures, with hot summers and cold winters. Additionally, expats should be aware that the city has a limited public transportation system and that most people rely on taxis or private cars to get around. Expats should also be aware that the city has a large expat community and that there are many resources available to help them adjust to their new home. Finally, expats should be aware that the city is relatively safe, but that they should take precautions to protect themselves and their belongings," said a member in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.
