When to visit

The best time to visit Uzbekistan is during the spring (April to June) and autumn (September to November) when the weather is mild and pleasant. Summers can be extremely hot, with temperatures reaching over 40°C, while winters can be cold and snowy. The spring and autumn months offer comfortable temperatures for sightseeing and exploring the country's attractions.

Getting around

Getting around Uzbekistan is relatively easy, with options including domestic flights, trains, buses, and shared taxis. The country has a well-developed transportation network, making it convenient to travel between cities. Taxis and ride-sharing services are also available in major urban areas for shorter distances. It's recommended to book transportation in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons.

Traveller tips

When visiting Uzbekistan, it's important to respect the local customs and traditions, such as dressing modestly when visiting religious sites. Bargaining is common in markets, so be prepared to negotiate prices. Carry cash in small denominations, as credit cards are not widely accepted. Stay hydrated and protect yourself from the sun, especially during the summer months. Learn a few basic phrases in Uzbek or Russian to communicate with locals.
