Day 1: Tashkent

Chances are you'll land in Tashkent as your entry point to Uzbekistan. I recommend spending no more than one day here, as compared to other cities in Uzbekistan, the capital is less impressive. Much of its historical architecture was destroyed by an earthquake in 1966, leading to significant redevelopment during the Soviet era. As a result, Tashkent now features a mix of Soviet-era and modern buildings, lacking the old-world charm found in cities like Samarkand or Bukhara.
