Things to Do in Tashkent
Welcome to Tashkent. This eclectic city hosts
Russian-speaking cabbies on broad Soviet-built avenues, old
men wearing long traditional chapans (quilted coats) resting
outside of mud-walled houses, and throngs gathering
together before steaming cauldrons for their daily repast of
plov (a popular ethnic rice pilaf dish). With a visit to the
madrasah of Kukeldash we start our explorations of the
historic monuments of the Uzbek capital. The Bazaar is a fascinating site for a spot of people watching, or for stocking up on any snacks and
supplies for the coming days. From Chorsu visit the nearby Kukeldash Madrassah, which dates to
the late 16th century. During its near 450 years of history Kukeldash has functioned as a
Madrassah, caravanserai, fortress and museum, but returned in the 1990s to function as a working
madrassah.

City Tour + metro
Today Tashkent is the modern capital of Uzbekistan, which practically has not preserved ancient landmarks as opposed to Samarkand, Khiva and Bukhara. But it has its own sights. One of them is the Tashkent Metro, the first underground transport in Central Asia.
Construction of the Tashkent metro began two years later after the destructive earthquake in 1966. Also the increase of population in the capital caused to the construction of rapid and comfortable public transport system. First line of metro opened in 1977 in honor of 60th anniversary of the USSR and connected the most populous district Chilanzar with the center of the city
