The Tashkent City Guides answer what every first-time visitor wonders: where the plov is best and when to get there, which metro stations are worth a ride for the decoration alone, where the city goes out after dark and how to see Samarkand or the Tian Shan mountains in a single day. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order or look for and one practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser the moment you pay.

Three places from the guides
Chorsu Bozor
Tafakkur street, Old Town
The huge bazaar under its turquoise dome, where you can fill up on round tandoor bread, dried fruit, nuts, halva and horse sausage, with plov and shashlik stalls close by. Arrive hungry and expect warmth under the dome even in winter. From the food guide.
Ilkhom
Pakhtakor street 5
Tashkent’s best-known independent theatre, with intimate productions mostly in Russian and the odd performance subtitled in English. The courtyard bar, concerts and exhibitions make it an evening out even without a ticket, and seats cost little. From the things to do guide.
Shah-i-Zinda
Shohi Zinda street, Samarkand
An avenue of tiled mausoleums climbing a hillside, with the finest tilework in Samarkand. Come towards sunset, when the blue and turquoise surfaces start to glow. From the mountains and day trips guide.
Plan your days in Tashkent
Day one: the Old Town madrasahs and Chorsu in the morning with the things to do guide, plov before 2 pm from the food guide, then a metro hop between the decorated stations and a wine bar or rooftop from the nightlife guide. Day two: an early fast train to Samarkand with the mountains and day trips guide, or a driver out to Charvak and Chimgan. For a rainy or slow day, mix museums and the opera from the things to do guide with the aquarium and puppet theatre from the family guide, and eat cheaply with the budget guide.
