A notable cinema, though it seems to be going through hard times.

Semey Bridge or Семей қаласындағы аспалы көпір
A suspension bridge with elegant lines over the Irtysh River. It is quite an eyecatcher, including when it's lit up or when steam is rising off the river.
This gate is all that's left of a seven-chamber fortress that was erected in Semey in 1718 by order of Peter I.
Museum of the Nevzorov Family or Музей Семьи Невзоровых
The largest art museum in Kazakhstan, over 3500 artworks.
Fyodor Dostoyevsky Literature Museum or Литературно-мемориальный музей Ф.М. Достоевского
A little place of remembrance where Dostoyevsky lived under exile from 1857-1859. Is best if you know a little Kazakh or Russian though.
Rather neglected, but a possible outdoor venue for some exercise or relaxation.
Abai Qunanbaiuli Literature Museum
Where you can learn about this Kazakh poet and try not to get scolded by the female docent.
