Tashkent

About Tashkent

Blue-domed mosques and broad Soviet avenues frame Tashkent, Uzbekistan’s capital, a city shaped by Silk Road heritage and modern Central Asia.

The Old City centers on Khast Imam Complex, while Tashkent Metro stations add ornate underground galleries to the city’s Soviet-era character. Chorsu Bazaar gathers produce, spices and street food, and the Central Asian Plov Centre serves the region’s signature rice dish near the TV Tower.

April and May, then September and October, suit cultural sightseeing. Mirabad District offers a convenient base near the Museum of Applied Arts, with plov, shashlik and samsa close by.
