The Silk Road, still standing.

Samarkand, Bukhara and Shahrizabz, linked by a high-speed train that crosses the desert in two hours. Blue-tiled squares built by Timur, bazaars that have traded on the same corner for six centuries, and a welcome that catches most visitors off guard.

Why Uzbekistan

Four cities, one train line

Tashkent to Samarkand is two hours by Afrosiyob bullet train, Samarkand to Bukhara another eighty minutes. No internal flights, no long transfer days.

Visa-free for most

Over 90 nationalities enter without a visa for up to 30 days, including the UK, EU and GCC.

Goes further than you expect

Four-star hotels, a private guide and a private vehicle here cost less than a mid-range package holiday in southern Europe.

Where you will actually go

Every place our Uzbekistan trips spend a night, ordered by how many itineraries use it. These are the names you will see on a day-by-day plan, so it is worth knowing which is the city, which is the mountains and which is the one night that is a home stay.

Tashkent35 trips stay here

Where almost every Uzbekistan trip begins, and a city most people write off before they arrive.

Read the guide → Samarkand24 trips stay here

Timur's capital, and the reason most people come to Uzbekistan in the first place.

Read the guide → Amirsoy and the Tashkent mountains6 trips stay here

The western Tian Shan, an hour and a half from the capital, and the reason Uzbekistan is not only desert cities.
