Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan offers travellers a distinctive mix of Silk Road history, mountain landscapes and traditional hospitality. The country's best-known visitor experiences include Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva, making it suitable for sightseeing, culture and flexible multi-stop itineraries. Food is part of the experience too, with pilaf, breads, grilled meats and hearty regional dishes. NO17 recommends allowing enough time for both headline attractions and slower neighbourhood, scenic or cultural experiences, while matching transport and daily pace to the season and travel group.
