Tashkent City Tour
Tashkent sprawls in all directions from its focal point — Amir Timur Square. It is here that you can see Uzbekistan's curious elevation of Tamerlane to national hero.
Landlocked Uzbekistan is a hinterland of inhospitable desert, and yet it has produced works of such architectural sumptuousness and skill, they’ve beguiled visitors and itinerants for centuries — and they continue to do so. Whether you visit Uzbekistan as part of a longer journey retracing the Silk Route, or as a standalone destination, our specialists will talk you through the country’s primary points of interest. They’ll weave their knowledge of its backstreets, museums, Soviet relics and Islamic sacred sites into your own tailor-made Uzbekistan itinerary.
The triptych of madressehs (Islamic schools) gracing Registan Square in the historical city of Samarkand is likely to form the climax to your vacation in Uzbekistan, and our specialists will help you make the most of your visit here. You can complement this with exploring Khiva’s city walls, Tashkent’s teahouses and Bukhara’s marketplaces. Our specialists can also point you toward half-forgotten, lesser-known places: ruined mud-brick fortresses marooned amid desert sands, and once-powerful port towns.
Whatever your interests, our specialists will build activities into your trip that connect to how you want to experience Uzbekistan.

The Alisher Navoi Opera House is one of Tashkent's most picturesque buildings. It was originally built by Japanese and Korean prisoners of war in 1947 to the design of Shchusev, the man who built Lenin's tomb.

The sheer quantity of sights here means most visitors cannot see everything. One of the city’s most recognizable monuments is the Kalon mosque and minaret complex.
