Culture in Uzbekistan

The jewel of the Silk Road, where the turquoise domes and tiled madrasas of Registan Square glow gold at sunset.

A living museum of Silk Road trade, its old town dense with caravanserais, trading domes and thousand-year-old minarets.

A perfectly preserved walled oasis city, its Itchan Kala fortress packed with minarets, palaces and mud-brick lanes.

Central Asia's largest city, blending broad Soviet-era avenues, a palatial metro and bazaars piled with melons and bread.

The green heart of Uzbekistan's silk country, a leafy base for craft towns famed for ikat weaving and glazed ceramics.
