Fergana
Fergana is the leafy, tree-lined capital of Uzbekistan's fertile Fergana Valley, a Soviet-planned city built as a garden retreat rather than an ancient Silk Road stop. It serves as the natural base for exploring the valley's real historic draws — the artisan workshops of nearby Margilan and Rishtan, and the bazaars of Kokand and Andijan.
