Semey Travel Guide

Kazakhstan

Semey is a city of around 293,000 people in north-eastern Kazakhstan, close to the country’s eastern border region. It is a sizeable regional centre on the Irtysh River, with a strongly continental setting and marked seasonal changes.

Most visitors arrive through Semey International Airport (PLX). Semey is not a coastal destination, and there are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so beach trips are not a central part of a visit.
