Central Asia: 2 days in Tashkent
Today Tashkent is the main economic and cultural centre of Central Asia. The capital city of Uzbekistan is a blend of old and new. Its bazaars offer a glimpse into local life with their array of goods. The cityscape is marked by historic mosques and madrasas adorned with tilework. Tashkent's cultural scene includes traditional performances and modern art galleries. The city's parks and boulevards provide a calm contrast. A notable fact is that Tashkent's landscape was reshaped by a devastating earthquake in 1966, leading to extensive rebuilding.
Where to stay
One of the options loved by local expats is to stay in the mountains. If you have more than 2 days, spend some time in the "Heaven's Garden" resort. Else, it could be also your half day activity for a nice lunch or dinner with the view.
