Uzbekistan travel guides

Uzbekistan is synonymous with a rich Silk Road heritage and home to three of its jewels — Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva. Here, you’ll find opulent palaces, fortified baked-stone citadels, and ornate Islamic architecture. Our specialists have explored these sights and beyond, sipping tea in remote chaykhanas, perusing spice-scented markets, and sharing plov with local families.

Drawing on firsthand experiences, they’ve created these Uzbekistan travel guides to show you how to explore the country in depth, from climbing the tallest minarets and walking the elaborately tiled halls of mosques and madrasas to dipping into traditional bathhouses, riding Soviet-era trains, and wandering hidden courtyards. They’ll give you an insight into the country’s different regions, where to stay, and what to do during your trip so you can get the most out of your visit.
