Tashkent aka: Toshkent

Ugly russiafied city. Go to Bukara or Samarkand instead.

Nice place
Amir Timur is a historical leader

Uzbekistan was challenging to me, in every way.

Queues in the airport are horrible! But once you’re out, it’s a nice & calm city. Lots of art cafes with great food too! I love their crafts: the potteries, carpets, embroideries, etc.

It seems boring sometimes, but there are hundreds of hidden places worth seeing. Tashkent has asmany facets as a diamond, and there are people of 125 nationalities. People are the biggest treasure of Tashkent…
Just come in summer (May to October) and you will see.
