Must-See Attractions in Tashkent
Visiting the capital of Uzbekistan means immersing yourself in a unique atmosphere of cultural diversity and warm hospitality. Here are some top attractions to explore during your stay:
- Hazrati Imam Complex. This religious center has a rich history and is home to one of the oldest handwritten Qurans. The complex includes mosques, a madrasa, and a library. It stands as both a spiritual symbol of the country and a true architectural gem.
- Chorsu Bazaar. A vast Eastern market under a sky-blue dome. Here you can buy fresh fruits, spices, dried goods, and traditional sweets — all while soaking in the lively atmosphere of an authentic Central Asian market. It’s a vibrant reflection of Tashkent’s everyday pulse.
- Museum of the History of Uzbekistan. Spanning from ancient times to the present day, the museum's exhibitions offer a deep dive into the region's past and cultural evolution.
For evening strolls, Independence Square, the Alley of Memory and Glory, and Amir Timur Park are perfect. The latter is a green oasis in the city center, surrounded by historic buildings and modern restaurants.
