Flights to Tashkent
Air Astana operates direct regular flights to Tashkent from Astana and Almaty.
Tashkent – one of the oldest cities on the Great Silk Road, which throughout its history has had its moments of glory and defeat. Tashkent is a city with an incredible combination of colours, ancient mosques and bazaars which will take you into Oriental fairy tales and legends of the past.
Your acquaintance with the city should start from the Old City. It is one of the few districts where hospitable teahouses, bakeries and cozy courtyards still prevail over the rapidly growing metropolis. Before you know it, you will find yourself at the Chorsu Bazaar, which is full of Oriental flavour and a hospitable atmosphere. This is a place like no other, its ambience will reward you with joyful moments to remember. Also, here you can taste the legendary pilaf, the quintessential dish of Uzbekistan with as many variations as there are people who cook it.
Take a stroll through the ‘Amir Timur’ square, which is one of the main places to visit in Tashkent. Founded in 1870, it is full of green lawns and fountains with an impressive statue of Amir Timur in the centre. A little further, towers the State History Museum, which guides you through Uzbekistan’s history from the Stone Age to its modern state.
