Chorsu bazaar
  • Tip Rating:
  • This is verily oriental bazaar in Tashkent. Really worth of seeing of course if you are not afraid of a big crowd. There are very many people there everyday and much more on Wednesday when new goods are delivered and on Sunday when people have rest and go there for shopping. There you can see both food and store market. Variety of fruits and vegetables that makes Uzbekistan famous attracts everybody and you really feel that you are dazzled. And what is most interesting - is the habit of bargain that all salesmen and customers do with pleasure. So I really want to notice that this place you are to visit being in Tashkent.

    Museum of history of Uzbekistan

  • Recently renovated and Uzbekistan's major museum, displaying on three floors archaeological finds, documents, textiles and much more from pre-history to the beginning of the century. A good introduction to the country or a summary before you fly out again.

    Monument to Amir Temur
  • Tip Rating:
  • This monument is in the centre of Tashkent and symbolizes the capital. Very nice monument to the great Amir Temur, great conqueror and ruler. I decided to put this photo made in winter time, it is so unusual...

    The Museum of Applied Arts
  • Tip Rating:
  • The delightful Museum of Applied Arts should not be missed. Formerly the residence of Alexander Polovtsev, the Tzar's envoy, who incorporated the finest works of the greatest masters, it today displays samples of traditional Arts & Crafts, both antique and contemporary. The Museum shop makes available high quality handmade embroidery and carpets.

    Broadway
  • Tip Rating:
  • Tashkent has its very own and it's bustling with people, day and night, Broadway, just as in New York.
    Shashlik, popcorn and ice-cream vendors line this pedestrian area, bordering the Zerafshan entertainment complex, trinkets are sold from street stalls, paintings and souvenirs towards the Amir Temur Square and the sound of karaoke prevails.
    There you can have your portrait painted, you can get almost whatever you want, and even listen to fortune-tellers!
    A lot of night clubs are situated in this area as well.

    The Amir Temur Museum
  • Tip Rating:
  • The design of this building is based on the crown of Amir Temur, a ruler and conqueror of much of Central Asia who lived and ruled in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. The museum doesn't have to much to offer inside. The main hall is rather attractive, but the exhibits are lacking.

    Take a walk around the zoo
  • Tip Rating:
  • Well, there really aren't to many "must see's" in Tashkent. The city was destroyed by an earthquake some years back and what is left is pretty much all typical Soviet. But one of the few things that was fun to see was the zoo. I am not usually much of a zoo person, I don't like the way the animals are usually kept. This zoo was not realy an exception, however the animals were very active and playing around alot with eachother.
