Tashkent
Uzbekistan's capital and Central Asia's largest city, Tashkent blends Soviet-era grandeur — ornate metro stations, wide boulevards, and monumental squares rebuilt after the devastating 1966 earthquake — with the older rhythms of Chorsu Bazaar and its surrounding mahalla lanes. As the country's political and transport nucleus, it also serves as most travellers' first and last stop in Uzbekistan.
