Tashkent Travel Guide

Uzbekistan’s capital and the main gateway to the country: most international flights land here. Tashkent combines the old town around the Khast Imam complex and the Chorsu bazaar with wide avenues, green parks, a metro famous for its decorated stations, museums and theatres, and a busy calendar of concerts, shows and exhibitions.
