About Tashkent

Tashkent is Central Asia's most accessible capital and its most contradictory: Soviet-era monuments share space with 15th-century madrasahs, while a booming café culture fills the wide Soviet boulevards that were rebuilt after the 1966 earthquake. It functions less as a destination in itself and more as the gateway to Samarkand and the Silk Road — but the city earns its own days, especially the Chorsu Bazaar and the underground metro stations that are among the most beautiful in the world. The pace is unhurried, the food is exceptional value, and the people consistently friendly to European visitors.

Good to know

✓Carry cash since card acceptance outside hotels and big restaurants is still patchy

✈️ Getting there

TASIslam Karimov Tashkent International Airport

📍 12 km⏱ 25 min🚕 Taxi🚌 Bus

The cheapest and easiest option is a Yandex Go taxi, which costs around €2–4 for the 20–25 minute ride into the centre — far cheaper than airport taxis and widely used by locals; Bus 67 runs the same route for under €0.30 but takes longer and runs less frequently.

Islam Karimov International expanded significantly in 2021 and completed another terminal expansion in 2024 — now a modern, well-organised hub handling Uzbekistan Airways (which flies direct from multiple European cities), flydubai, Turkish Airlines, and Aeroflot connections.

Don't Miss

Hidden gems and local experiences in Tashkent — beyond the tourist trail.

🕌Khast Imam (Hazrat Imam) complex at dusk: the illuminated tilework on the Barak Khan Madrasah and the twin 53-metre minarets create a fairytale skyline. Come at 6 PM to walk the courtyards with the evening prayer call as your soundtrack, then pay the 30,000 UZS entrance to the Muyi Mubarak Library to see the Uthman Quran — arguably the world's oldest, dating to the 7th century AD.

🚇Ride the entire Uzbekistan metro line and get out at Kosmonavtlar, Alisher Navoiy, and Mustaqillik Maydoni stations — each is a different era of Soviet-era decorative art. Photography is now permitted throughout the system. Token costs 3,000 UZS (under €0.30). Budget two hours to do it properly.

🍚Besh Qozon (Plov Center) on Milliy Bog Street opens at 7 AM and sells out of plov by noon — arrive early. You can walk into the preparation area to watch chefs stir plov in car-sized kazan cauldrons over wood fires. A heaped plate with salad costs around 40,000 UZS (€3.20). This is the definitive plov experience in Uzbekistan.

🏛️Chorsu Bazaar on a weekday morning: the turquoise-domed central building contains the spice and dry goods traders, but the real energy is the outdoor section — Uzbek non bread stacked in columns, saffron sold by the pinch, and samsa baked in clay ovens. Bring cash, no cards accepted. Arrive before 9 AM to beat tour groups.

🍶Hotel Uzbekistan bar on the 17th floor: this Soviet-era brutalist tower on Amir Timur Square is open to non-guests and the rooftop bar serves cold Sarbast beer for a few thousand UZS. The views over Tashkent are the best free panorama in the city, the atmosphere is genuinely Soviet-era time-capsule strange, and the beer is cold.
