      Hello,

      I’m planning to visit Semey next spring and need some advice on how to get there from Astana. Could you share details on booking trains, buses, travel times, and the best places to stay and eat?
      I’ve checked usual platforms, but haven’t found satisfactory options. It seems there are no internal flights from Astana or Almaty, and I’ve been unable to book a train ticket.

      Thanks for your help!
