For over two thousand years, Uzbekistan has been a hub of culture. It’s where you’ll find amazing architecture and old cities that have been around for ages. These places are filled with stories from the Silk Road, a historic trade route. Here is my 3 day quick trip itinerary. Day 1: Getting into Tashkent • Touch down in Tashkent and get ready to dive into the city. • Check out the big spots like Independence Square and Amir Timur Square. • Swing by the Chorsu Bazaar for some local vibes and maybe grab a bite at a cozy Uzbek joint. Day 2: Rolling to Samarkand • I recommend to take a morning high-speed train from Tashkent to Samarkand (about a 2-hour journey). • When you hit Samarkand, get your camera ready for the jaw-dropping Registan Square. It’s like stepping into a whole other world. • Don’t miss Bibi-Khanym Mosque and the Shah-i-Zinda necropolis for some serious historical vibes. • Wind down the day with some tasty local eats. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed. Day 3: Samarkand Serenade • Wake up and smell the roses (or the plov, Uzbekistan’s famous rice dish) in Samarkand. • Spend your morning exploring more gems like Ulugh Beg Observatory and Gur-e-Amir Mausoleum. • Take a chill stroll around town, soak up the vibes, and grab any last-minute souvenirs. • Head back home or to your next adventure feeling like a true Uzbekistan explorer. This plan keeps it breezy while still hitting up the coolest spots in Tashkent and Samarkand. So grab your comfy shoes and get ready for some serious fun! Stay chic! #vdoingthings @uzb_travel #visituzbekistan

During my travels I've visited many such bazaars worldwide, however Chorsu Bazaar left a strong impression due to its size. It consists of two areas: the main circular blue dome and a huge, really huge maze of alleys and stalls all around it (imo, at least triple the size of the main bldg). The main part under the beautiful traditional blue dome sells fresh products: meat, vegetables, fruits, fish, cheese, spices, nuts.... The rest around it on small stalls is a mixture of everything: clothes, jewelry, souvenirs, fake goods, shoes, pottery, cutlery, plates, toys,....you name it, it's there. Prices are pretty cheap, however as a tourist (foreigner) your starting price will be higher, but still cheap. You can also change your money here for Uzbek Soms - many shout 'Money Change', don't be afraid, they wont cheat you and the rate is better

Chorsu Bazaar is a must-visit in Tashkent! I visited with my family, and we were amazed by its size and variety. This sprawling market has everything from fresh produce, spices, and meats to traditional handicrafts, fabrics, and souvenirs. The lively atmosphere and friendly vendors make it a memorable experience. Dating back several centuries, Chorsu Bazaar has been a significant trading hub on the ancient Silk Route, connecting merchants from different regions. Its iconic blue-domed structure stands as a testament to its historical importance. The market not only showcases Uzbekistan’s rich cultural heritage but also plays a crucial role in the daily lives of locals. For anyone interested in history, culture, or just a vibrant shopping experience, Chorsu Bazaar is definitely worth exploring!

An experience not to be missed when visiting Tashkent. All our interactions with the vendors were great - they were friendly and excited to see tourists. Chorsu offers lots of things and you can find authentic Uzbek cuisine, traditional clothes and decor, and so much more. The bazaar itself is quite big. My favourite part was visiting the stalls inside as there was SO many different types of nuts to choose from. They also allowed us to try some. I loved the Halwa and I also tried the yogurt snack. The second part I really loved was the outdoor food market. Do not miss it. The food is so delicious and very affordable and you can easily have a very filling meal to share here. We tried different dishes such as plov, their bread, tea, chicken and more.

Uzbekistan – Naturally Irresistible! 🇺🇿😍 We visited this market on 13th April 2023 Chorsu Bazaar, also called Charsu Bazaar, is the traditional bazaar located in the center of the old town of Tashkent, the capital city of Uzbekistan. Under its blue-colored domed building and the adjacent areas, all daily necessities are sold. Inside, the stalls are arranged in concentric circles on the ground floor, with a terrace around the edge on the second level with more tables. Most noticeable inside the dome is the ceiling that, with a webbed pattern leading towards a central skylight, creates an incredible visual effect. If you are are around Tashkent, please don’t miss this wonderful and organized, huge market. One can easily spend 4 hours here🫶🏻🫡🇺🇿

An oriental city, very little Europe and a lot of Asia. Keep in mind that very few people speak English, including those in large supermarkets, cafes and bars, almost everyone knows Russian. Chorsu market. This is the biggest market. Where there is absolutely everything you could possibly want including a pharaoh's mummy and Apollo 13 taillights :)))) There is a very cool bird market here. It is a very cool place. Beautiful souvenirs. When buying, a trade has come, be sure to tell them at least half the price and they will give you a good price in the end 🙂 E.g. One particular item cost 150,000 sum and I ended up buying it for 120,000 sum. Here you can buy delicious fruits.
