Why Tashkent is a Must-Visit for UK Travellers
Green, spacious, and surprisingly eclectic, Tashkent weaves leafy Soviet-modernist boulevards and chandelier-lit subterranean metro stations together with sprawling terracotta-brick markets under the giant sky-blue dome of Chorsu Bazaar. As the gateway terminal for direct London flights and Afrosiyob high-speed trains toward Samarkand, Tashkent rewards guests with historic Hazrat Imam Square manuscripts and bubbling giant cauldrons at Central Asian Plov Centre.
