The Eastern Bazaar Charm and Authentic Pilaf in a Teahouse

What to Expect

A tale of the Eastern bazaar
Ceramics, skullcaps, and traditional robes, Eastern sweets, spices, fruits and vegetables, clay products, handmade souvenirs, books and gifts, scarves made from national fabrics, and much more. Local bazaars represent the entire history of Uzbekistan.

In the old part of Tashkent, you will visit the 'Chorsu' bazaar, one of the largest in Central Asia. Here, you will not only see the natural treasures of our sunny land and items of local culture but also learn about the market's rich history. After all, it was known even in the Middle Ages and had great significance for the Silk Road.

'Like the sky without the moon, so is Uzbekistan without a teahouse'
The history of teahouses, common in various countries, is quite interesting. In our establishments, in addition to traditional tea (mostly green), dishes of national cuisine are served. After the bazaar, we will head to one of the best places in Tashkent, where you can try authentic Uzbek pilaf, kazan-kebab, dimlyama, kavurdak, and other Central Asian delicacies.

After a hearty lunch, it's time to... stroll
To conclude, we will walk along 'Broadway' alley with street musicians, artists, and even magicians, towards Amir Timur Square. You will see not only modern buildings, squares, and avenues but also late 19th-century structures, including the 'Uzbekistan' hotel, the opera and ballet theater, and Prince Romanov's house.

During the walk, I will help you find the best angles for photos and share tips on what to see in your free time, which regions of Uzbekistan to visit, and where to eat delicious food.
