Baikonur.
Closer to space,
between launches.
Discover Baikonur between launches: explore the cosmodrome, the history of space exploration and a city shaped by space travel.

- Guided excursions
- Dates arranged with you
No need to wait for a launch.
Discover Baikonur.
Baikonur is fascinating between launches, too. Visit places connected with space exploration, hear stories about the people and technology behind it, and discover everyday life in the city.
“Between Launches” is a sightseeing trip without a rocket launch viewing. Baikonur itself takes centre stage. We will agree on dates, the itinerary and accessible sites before you book.
