There are a multitude of abandoned structures (including the tall building next to this one, with a life size mockup of Russia's heavy lift rocket). It's not legal, but if you're willing make the 35km hike in, it's not h

Just before COVID I trekked into Baïkonour - just next to the building with the Burans is Yuri Gagarin's launch pad - which is quite amazing to see. Photos for the interested: https://ninjito.com/2020-02-05-Baikonour (
