Chorsu and the Old City
Bazaar mornings on foot, but choose a guesthouse that confirms a night desk or door code in writing; lanes are narrow and cars stop at the edge.

- Central Asia ↗Keep every hotel registration slip or its e-registration record until you leave Uzbekistan and Tajikistan; border officers can ask for proof of where you slept and fine gaps.
- Central Asia ↗Land borders between Central Asian states open and shut with politics and demarcation deals; confirm the exact post is open to foreigners the week you cross.
- Uzbekistan ↗Check entry rules on the official e-visa portal only; many nationalities enter without a visa for a limited stay, others need an e-visa. Lookalike sites charge extra.
- Uzbekistan ↗Foreign visitors are registered by hotels; keep any registration slip you are given and ask for one if you stay in a private home.
- Uzbekistan ↗Carry Uzbek soʻm in small notes; bazaars, taxis and small cafés are cash-first, and cards are accepted mainly in hotels and larger shops.
- Tashkent Region ↗Jun–Aug in Tashkent is 35–40 °C by day: do outdoor sights before 11:00 and after 17:00.
- Tashkent ↗Small guesthouses in the Old City may have no night desk: send your flight number and ask for the door code or a night staff member before you fly.
- Tashkent ↗Chorsu bazaar and the Old City lanes are crowded and uneven: large suitcases go from the car to the door, never into the market.
- Tashkent ↗The metro is open to photography in most stations; do not photograph turnstiles, guards or military staff, and follow any sign in the station.
