- JgHerrera1900Monteverde, Costa Rica7 contributionsSeveral of the metro stations have beautiful decorations and espectacular lamps. An amazing thing is that young people, that are a mayority, will give place to older people either male or female. Finally, the cleanliness is amazing and there are no problems with pickpockets like in many european countries.Written November 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Antonio DDubai, United Arab Emirates17 contributionsGorgeous place! best in spring when the snow is melting, trees flowering and the air is crisp and cool. The petroglyphs at the base of the mountains are a waste of time....seems like the locals are not really interested in their ancestors!!!- no protected if they are so valuable-- you notice graffiti on these rocky walls!!!Written April 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kyzjibek T5 contributionsDuring my visit to Tashkent this museum of Applied Art was definitelty one of the highlights. The museum is definitelty worth visitng and I enjoyed all sort of crafts and jewelry that was exposed in the museum.
The architecture of the building is another thiing to admire. The doors and the colums are so beautiful and have curves and patterns.
Highly recommend to go!Written October 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The Mosque itself is the oldest and biggest in Tashkent. It was severely damaged in 1966 earthquake, but rebuilt later.
Entry is free and is located opposite the courtyard, from the main street.Written November 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - BrakiWorldTravelerBelgrade, Serbia20,013 contributionsThis part of Tashkent should be the first on your list when visiting the Uzbek capital.
It will give you a glimpse of development from a village like town to bustling metropolis.
This is the oldest area dating back to medieval times, and was severely damaged in 1966 earthquake.
The area is situated north from Chorsu Bazaar. I suggest taking a taxi to the northernmost and most interesting point - Hazrati Imam complex. After visiting it stroll down southwards the winding and mostly empty streets with only locals around. It's amazing to spot the difference between this district with small alleys and people selling something in front of their houses, and big and busy boulevards just around a corner.Written November 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - BrakiWorldTravelerBelgrade, Serbia20,013 contributionsMinor Mosque is a sparkling new Mosque set in the northeastern part of the capital, close to Tashkent TV tower.
When looking from an elevated position by the main street passing by it, you can notice its grandeur and beauty. The entire Mosque is covered in shiny white marble with beautiful blue decorations at the entering muqarnas, as well two Minarets and a huge turquoise blue dome above the main praying area, resembling the traditional Uzbek style. Aside is a huge parking lot.
You can enter the Mosque for free even as a non Muslim, however cannot enter the main praying hall, but observe it from the visitors door by it which was quite enough to see the interior beauty.
Pro TIP: after visiting the Mosque head to the next door "Minor Somsa" eatery (100 m to the right) for amazing fresh baked somsa pastry (see the pic).Written November 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It's a pretty big area with several attractions to see and visit, and some you can not.
The central part occupies a long colonnade with a mythical bird on top in the middle. In front of it are series of fountains (not working in Oct).
Behind it is the Independence monument - massive pink granite monument with golden globe on top with Uzbek state engraved in the middle. Instead of that globe here used to be Lenin statue during the Soviet era, but was removed after gaining independence. No access to the monument, you can only observe it from a distance.
To the left is the white classic style Presidential palace with no access even close to it.
To the right is the WWII memorial you can freely roam around with eternal flame and casualties from Uzbek inscribed in golden pages.
Parks around these attractions are nicely manicured with strong military and police presence. Count on up to an hour to see the entire area.Written November 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

He's a national hero and some kind of divine, though other neighboring nations observe him from a different angle.
Anyway, this equestrian statue of Amir Temur stands on the main and central square of Uzbek capital. The seating statue is located in Samarkand, while his standing statue is in his hometown of Shahrisabz.
Behind the monument is a national Opera and an imposing edifice of hotel Uzbekistan in the background, an intriguing mixture of Soviet and Uzbek architecture.Written November 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The museum has an impressive domed structure with a grand main hall adorned by the dome and a fabulous mural for a backdrop (great for photos). Exhibits include items dating back to the 14th century (many are replicas), models of many of the most famous buildings in Uzbekistan, paintings of famous leaders of the Timurid Empire, and charts of Timur's geneology. The museum was completed in 1996.Written October 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
