What to see in Tashkent: interesting sights of the city

Kukeldash Madrasah

Rashidova ave., 3

Hire a car and go look at one of the brightest sights of the capital, Kukeldash Madrasah. In medieval times, there were no educational institutions in Tashkent, so the training was carried out on the basis of the madrasah: a theological seminary and a secondary school were equipped here. The building is made in the traditional style of medieval architecture. It consists of several parts: the courtyard, the cell, where students live. Over the long history of the existence of the madrasah, it was used as a fortress, a hotel worked here, and today, like 4 centuries ago, it serves as an Islamic educational institution.

Alai Bazaar

St. Amir Timur, 1

Alai Bazaar is one of those places where you can get acquainted with the true face of the country's social life. The first mention of the bazaar dates back to the 12th century; it is one of those that was founded on the Great Silk Road. If at that time holidays were organized in places of mass congestion, punished criminals, read out decrees of viziers, today the place in the usual sense looks like a bazaar with dozens of shops. Here you can buy fresh meat, sweets, fruits, milk, jewelry, and then refresh yourself in a traditional teahouse.

Jami Mosque

Dead End Hakikat

Perhaps the main pride of the Old City of the capital is the Jami Mosque, which is considered a vivid example of the Friday mosque. Thanks to the recent reconstruction, the shrine is considered one of the largest in the country. Outside, it is decorated with three domes, while it looks solemn and restrained at the same time. The interior is quite ascetic: such an idea was intentionally implemented, because nothing should distract the believer from communicating with Allah.

Tashkent Zoo

St. Bogishamol, 232A www.tashkentzoo.uz

Tashkent is famous for its large zoo, on the territory of which about 3,000 animals live. Here you can see an elephant, a lion, a giraffe, a tiger, a dwarf hippo, a black neck and many other no less interesting representatives of the animal world. Interestingly, the zoo also breeds birds of prey, for example, condor, white-headed vulture. Especially popular is the aquarium complex with various natural ecosystems. It will be more convenient to get to the zoo by renting a car.
