Uzbekistan, a charming country located in Central Asia, is a unique blend of cultures, rich history, and stunning architecture. Enveloped by five landlocked nations including Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Afghanistan, it is mostly known for its enchanting Silk Road cities, such as Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva. These cities houses splendid mosques, madrasas and mausoleums engraved with blue and green mosaic that reflect the grandeur of Islamic architecture. Visit the thriving capital city, Tashkent, to experience a bustling bazaar, modern skyscrapers, and a seamless blend of Western and Eastern cultures. Don't miss out on the Uzbek cuisine, especially the national dish Plov, a delectable rice dish cooked with assorted vegetables and meat. With a beautiful fusion of the old and new world, Uzbekistan promises a travel experience like no other.

Uzbekistan

Couch surfing in Uzbekistan opens a portal to immersive travel experiences, building bridges between cultures, locals, and global tourists. It provides a unique opportunity to dive deep into the heart of the Uzbek lifestyle, traditions, and customs, straight from the locals. It’s an ideal way to save on accommodation expenses, all while making new friends from different parts of the world. Life through the lens of an Uzbek resident could manifest with experiences such as home-cooked meals, hidden trails, and community insights that are often missed by regular tourists. This low-budget, high-reward travel style could introduce you to an authentic, unseen side of Uzbekistan.

Uzbekistan is one of the most extraordinary places I have ever visited, and I felt safe as a solo female traveler. I visited Tashkent, Khiva, Bukhara, and Samarkand and I genuinely fell in love with each of these places, as well as the food.

I traveled to Samarkand and Tashkent and it was an amazing trip. We were four ladies on this expedition and we felt very safe. I love the food, architecture and people. We didn't speak Russian or Uzbek, but we managed. Uzbekistan is amazing and very cheap.

I traveled alone to Uzbekistan and I have mixed feelings. The level of harassment I experienced there was something I had not experienced before. The infrastructure is also not the best, which means that street lights were often turned off and I walked alone in the darkness. If you don't speak Russian, I wouldn't suggest travelling alone (unless with a tour or in summer, when the days are longer). Samarkand and Bukhara were somewhat disappointing to me (despite the beauty of the buildings). As for getting around - it is a very well-connected country with fast trains running across the country and a metro in Tashkent.

I was in Uzbekistan with my mother. Very beautiful city. We went and shopped at the Chorsu bazaar. The Chorsu bazaar serves excellent pilaf and kebabs.

I bought traditional souvenirs and a scarf. I saw beautiful mosques. And visited Magic City
