National Library of Uzbekistan — Attraction in Tashkent

Good place for school children and tourists. But if you are about to work or study with laptop 💻 then you better go to some other places (probably coworking zones) because only a few halls have outlets, most of their halls do not even have simple outlet to charge your phone and laptop. And it's very uncomfortable that you have to leave your bag and other belongings in the wardrobe which is really crowded. Sometimes you wait 10-15 minutes to leave your places in the wardrobe. I do not understand why should I carry my laptop, my books and my notebooks, phone and any other things in my hands there when I have a bag, it's very uncomfortable.

USA man and Vietnam wife, we had to get a one day pass to enter, it's free but requires a passport or ID. Luckily we had on our phone. Once the pass is acquired then you can enter.

Felt like a real communist regime at that moment.

Lots of excited students with big dreams, I like that!

No wifi. No...
