About Tashkent
Tashkent is the capital and largest city of Uzbekistan, with a population of just over 3 million in 2024. It was an ancient city on the Silk Road, the network of trading routes between China and Europe, but what you see now is mostly modern - it was wrecked by an earthquake in 1966 and rebuilt in Soviet style, with humdrum medium-raise lining interminable boulevards. It's the national transport hub and many visitors are just passing through on the way to Samarkand and Bukhara, but there's plenty of interest here to reward staying a few days.
