"Gateway to Uzbekistan" Tashkent by mayafly

Tashkent Travel Guide: 264 reviews and 578 photos

Tashkent is nice, but it's nothing compared to the beautiful old cities of the Silk Road. Much of it was destroyed during a terrible earthquake in the 1960s. It was then rebuilt in Soviet fashion, with wide, straight streets and boxy concrete buildings - although with a Central Asian flair!

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:awesome metro, great people
  • Cons:no city center, not much history, not beautiful
  • In a nutshell:A jumping off point for your Uzbek adventure
