“Tashkent’s Chorsu Bazaar is a must-visit for heritage and culture enthusiasts. Located in the old city, this indoor and outdoor market has everything – from spices to souvenirs – and offers a fantastic glimpse into the everyday life of Uzbekistan.

“Bukhara is stunning by day, but the Lyabi-Hauz is completely transformed into a magical place by night. For a delightful atmosphere, visit one of the restaurants overlooking the pool after sunset.”
