Tour description
Tashkent is the largest and most cosmopolitan city in Central Asia, the capital of Uzbekistan and a fascinating blend of ancient Silk Road heritage, Soviet grandeur and modern ambition. Rebuilt after a great earthquake, it has wide boulevards alongside pockets of old-town charm. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its many layers.
You will visit the serene Khast Imam religious complex, dive into the bustling Chorsu Bazaar beneath its blue dome, and hear about the Silk Road, Soviet times and modern Uzbekistan. Along the way you will discover the warm hospitality of the Uzbek people. Diverse and welcoming, Tashkent is a rewarding city to explore on foot.
