Discover Tashkent with Rus - Free Tour
Tour description
For millennia, Tashkent has been one of the most important commercial centers on the Great Silk Road. Still here the spirit of the old Muslim East is combined with its colorful bazaars and mosques , the Russian colonial architecture of the late 19th century and the Soviet era with its wide streets and grandiose structures.
A tour of the capital of Uzbekistan can last about 5 hours:
What will we see?
1. Amir Timur Square: the beating heart of Tashkent.

6. Tashkent Metro: its beauty and grandeur is not inferior to the subways of Moscow and St. Petersburg.
7. Chorsu Bazaar.
8. Ensemble Khazrati Imam - a religious complex in Tashkent. In addition to the buildings, there is a library of oriental manuscripts and Caliph Uthman's Koran. At first, the Quran was in Medina, then in Damascus and Baghdad. The Koran was transported from Baghdad to Samarkand by Tamerlane. In 1869, Usman's Quran was brought to Saint Petersburg, where its authenticity was proven. From there, the Quran was transferred to the city of Ufa, and then it was transported to Tashkent.
I wait for you to discover with a local expert in the city the most surprising corners of it.
