OVERVIEW

Tashkent is a huge city in Uzbekistan, with government districts, residential neighbourhoods and markets spread across a broad plain. Earthquake reconstruction and Soviet planning strongly shaped the modern urban form. The combination of broad avenues, market domes and leafy neighbourhoods in a large capital rebuilt around transport and administration and central asian culture gives the wider destination a distinct physical and cultural structure.

Food, museums and metro architecture provide substantial variety. The city is spacious, making public transport and district based planning useful. Experiencing broad avenues alongside market domes and leafy neighbourhoods in a large capital rebuilt around transport reveals more of the destination than focusing only on its best known visitor area.
