The adventure awaits
Step back in time to the era of caravans and nomadic tribes who traveled on camels across the Central Asian deserts, facilitating trade between Europe and the Far East. Soak up the mysterious oriental atmosphere of historical cities in fertile oases, among the oldest in the world, and admire their unique architecture of palaces, mosques, mausoleums, and madrassahs decorated with typical blue tiles.
Take a high-speed train through the inhospitable Kyzylkum Desert, stroll through local markets, taste traditional cuisine, and buy some of the traditional products (don't forget to haggle). Uzbekistan is still a little-explored destination that will enchant you with its culture, architecture, mysterious atmosphere, and the hospitality of the locals - all without crowds of tourists.
Be sure to buy train tickets in advance. More info at individual places in the itinerary below.

Your itinerary - Easy to personalizeincluded
Day 1
Your arrival day will serve as a first taste of the country (figuratively and literally). Immediately upon arrival, you'll be struck by the local atmosphere of the post-Soviet country - from inscriptions written in Cyrillic to Russian-shouting taxi drivers looking for clients. Avoid this chaos to start with and choose a comfortable and direct route to your accommodation by taxi - at the very least, you'll test the functionality of the Yandex app :)
Depending on your arrival time and your taste, you can soak up the atmosphere of the lively Central Asian markets at the local Chorsu Bazaar (open daily until about 9:00 PM), which is located in the immediate vicinity of your accommodation.
You can also enjoy your first serving of the ubiquitous local specialty called plov, which can be found at the renowned Central Asian Plov Center, known locally as Besh qozon (open daily until about 11:00 PM). This itinerary includes both places in the coming days. The hotel's location near the city center then encourages a walk around the city. So it depends on what you feel like doing after a long (perhaps even overnight) flight :)
Day 2
Tashkent is known for its contrasts - on the one hand, you will find lively bazaars with the atmosphere of Arabia and architectural gems of local mosques and palaces, while nearby stands a modern metropolis with monumental buildings, green parks and entertainment centers. Today you will spend most of the day in the historical part admiring the incredible architecture of the local Islamic culture and soak up the true atmosphere of the Orient at the local giant bazaar, so that at the end of the day you will marvel at the shining, gleaming entertainment center built in a park with ponds, all in the middle of the inhospitable Uzbek desert.
Day 3
While yesterday was mainly about history and culture, today you will explore the modern face of this metropolis. Climb the tallest building in Central Asia, from where you will have the city at your fingertips. Taste the local delicacy and literally peek under the hood of local chefs preparing it right in front of you. Stroll along the magnificent boulevards with street artists and pay homage to local political heroes embodied by monumental statues and monuments. And since you will be using the famous local metro many times today, don't forget to look around at the stations - some stations look like a gallery.
