Highlights
- Amir Temur Square - Amir Timur Square is the heart of modern Tashkent. It is the site where the first University and the Bank of Central Asia were established. Previously, monuments to Stalin and Marx stood here, but now it features a monument to Tamerlane.
- Broadway Alley - It’s hard to believe that this area, now in the heart of the modern city, was once a swamp. It was drained and transformed into a leisure spot for Tsar’s soldiers and is now a popular entertainment area for both locals and visitors.
- Navoi Opera Theater - The Navoi Opera Theater, also known as the Bolshoi Theatre of Opera and Ballet, is the first opera and ballet theater in Central Asia. It is now one of the iconic landmarks of modern Tashkent, showcasing a blend of folk art and Neoclassicism.
- Independence Square (Mustakillik Square) - Independence Square (Mustaqilliq Maidoni) is the main square of the country, housing the administrative offices of the Cabinet and the Senate. Once the administrative center for Russian tsarist and communist regimes, it now symbolizes Uzbekistan’s independence.
- Metro Taschkent - The Tashkent Metro is the first metro system in Central Asia and is considered one of the most beautiful in Asia. Often referred to as the underground museum of Tashkent, each station features unique decor and design.
- Chorsu Bazaar - Chorsu Bazaar is the oldest bazaar in Uzbekistan and the heart of the old city. It represents a traditional Eastern market within the modern city.
- Ensemble Hazrati Imam - The Hazrati Imam Ensemble is a historical and architectural complex that is a significant pilgrimage site. Visitors can explore the Barakhan and Tillesheyh madrassas, mosques, and the mausoleum of one of Tashkent’s first imams. Notably, it houses one of the four manuscripts of the Holy Koran from the 7th century, the only one in Central Asia.

Delightful walking tour - I loved my 10 km walk with Abdunazar. He was relatable and patient. I was surprised by his almost perfct Spanish command. In a country were even local English speakers are rare… having my tour in Spanish was delightful. We spend a good afternoon wandering and looking at the main landmarks.
