Travel tips for Uzbekistan

  • 1

    Always carry small change (Uzbek som) for bargaining at bazaars, as many vendors in markets like Chorsu or Tashkent’s old town don’t accept large bills.

  • 2

    Dress modestly when visiting mosques or religious sites, covering shoulders and knees to respect local customs.

  • 3

    Learn a few Uzbek phrases like 'Salom' (Hello) and 'Rahmat' (Thank you)—locals appreciate the effort and it opens doors to deeper interactions.
