7 days itinerary in Uzbekistan
#myitinerary
I recently went in Uzbekistan with my boyfriend and stayed 8 days.
Here following the results of many months of researches, I hope it can be helpful:
Day 1 - 2 Samarkand
- Amir timur mausoleum
- Registan square with its 3 madrasah, i suggest you to visit it after 5-6 PM for the sunset
- Bibi khanym mosque
- Syoob bazar
- Hazrat mosque
- Shah-I-zinda mausoleum
In my opinion, the most beautiful one it is Shah-I-zinda mausoleum and the Registan is just breathtaking.
*The names of the attractions could be a bit different due to differences of translation from the Cyrillic to Roman letters.
If you have time you could visit also:
- Tomb of Daniel
- Ulubek observatory
- Paper making factory
- Pottery factory
Day 3 Tashkent
- Subway stations, they were mostly built during the Soviet time and you can feel it. All stops are decorated differently, the oldest ones and the most beautiful ones are on the red and blue lines. My favorite subway stations were: alisher navoi and kosmonatvlar
- Eat Plov at Besh Qozon under the Tashkent Television Tower, you won’t regret it!
- Chorsu bazar
🚂 🌜night train from Tashkent to Khiva - around 16-17 hours
Day 4 Khiva
The old city of Khiva is called Ichan Kala and is quite small and walkable. I suggest you to book your stay inside the city or just out of city walls.
- Khuna ark
- City wall
- Tash kauli palace
- Pahlavan Mahmoud mausoleum
- Islam khodja minaret
- Juma mosque
FYI there’s one cumulative ticket for almost all museums and palaces/mosques in Ichan Kala. The price is 200k som.
We had dinner at Old Terrassa, the food was amazing and the view very good. From the restaurant Terrassa, which is probably 100 meters more central than old Terrassa the view is very great! I recommend to book in advance the table outside.
Day 5 - 6 Bukhara
- Kalon minaret by night
- Chor minor
- Ulugh beh & abdulaziz khan madrassa
- Ark of Bukhara
- Bolo- Hausa mosque
I recommend to eat in Old Bukhara restaurant, good food and environment.
Day 7 Nurata
- desert
- swim in the Aydarl lake
- stay in a local yurt or guesthouse
The last day of activities we decided to go to Nurota and have a tour in desert and see the Ayrdal Lake, because in the whole trip it missed a bit of nature for us.
We organized the whole trip with a tour guide, that came to Bukhara to pick us up and drove us in the desert and to lake. The lake is immense and clean.
We arrived there in the north part in the afternoon, we swam one hour and head back to Samarkand for our next day flight.

Solo short trip to Tashkent
Hot country with warm people. Convenient transport, airport in the center of city, delicious food, however there’s no many things you can do as a solo traveler at night. Magic city and Tashkent city parks are closed at 10-11pm which is abnormal for such a big city. #tashkent

Metro hopping has never been so fun!
The metro stations in Tashkent, Uzbekistan all have their own themes and it was really fun hopping on and off the various metro stations to take a look at the elaborate designs on the walls and ceilings. Truly astonishing details all over the station, one of the most fun things to do in Tashkent. Moreover, the entry fee is really affordable - about rate of USD 0.16 and you can ride for as long as you want visiting different stations without exiting the station. Once you exit any station, it's another USD 0.16 again. #tashkent
