Discover Tashkent with Rus - Free Tour
Tour description
For millennia, Tashkent has been one of the most important trading centres on the Great Silk Road. The spirit of the ancient Muslim East with its colourful bazaars and mosques , the Russian colonial architecture of the late 19th century and the Soviet era with its wide streets and grandiose structures still exist here.
A tour of the capital of Uzbekistan can last about 5 hours:
What will we see?
1. Amir Timur Square: the beating heart of Tashkent.
2. Sayilgoh Alley: Known by a more romantic name – Broadway, it is a colourful combination of quiet corners for relaxation with modern entertainment.
3. Alisher Navoi State Academic Theatre is the first opera and ballet theatre in Central Asia.
4. The Romanov Palace in Tashkent built in 1891.
5. Independence Square (Mustaqilliq Maidoni) is a park-like area with fountains, ministries and the Senate, as well as a monument to Uzbek soldiers who fell in World War II.
6. Tashkent Metro - its beauty and grandeur is not inferior to the subways of Moscow and St. Petersburg.
7. Chorsu Bazaar.
8. Khazrati Imam Ensemble - a religious complex in Tashkent. In addition to the buildings, there is a library of oriental manuscripts and the Koran of Caliph Uthman. At first, the Koran was in Medina, then in Damascus and Baghdad. The Koran was transported from Baghdad to Samarkand by Tamerlane. In 1869, Usman's Koran was brought to St. Petersburg, where its authenticity was proven. From there, the Koran was transferred to the city of Ufa, and then transported to Tashkent.
I look forward to seeing you and helping you discover the most surprising corners of the city with a local expert.
