Tashkent is very amazing and entertaining capital city of Uzbekistan but often gets brushed over by travellers and is used simply as an entry point for the country.
People don’t realise there are lots of things to do in Tashkent and in their speed to reach the tiles they forget to halt and explore the capital.
We were very much surprised by our first 2 days halt in Tashkent and ended up planning a few more days stay at the end of our trip once the tile fatigue (a real affliction in Uzbekistan) had well and truly set in.
If you’re planning to book Uzbekistan tour package, we strongly recommend that you should invest couple of days to explore cool things to do in Tashkent and indulge yourself in Uzbek city life.
