In the 21st century, when the world is at every traveler’s fingertips, why do so many people choose Uzbekistan? What does this small country in Central Asia offer?

Uzbekistan holds a unique collection of archaeological and architectural monuments spanning from the era of Alexander the Great to the reign of Tsar Nicholas II. Alongside these historic treasures, the country also boasts modern tourist attractions and natural landscapes millions of years old.

Uzbekistan is an excellent destination for budget-conscious travelers, with affordable all-inclusive guided tours that are much cheaper than similar trips to Europe or the Americas. Accessible transport, inexpensive food, and a wide range of simple guesthouses and hostels make it ideal for backpackers and independent travelers.

In recent years, Uzbekistan has become far more accessible: entry procedures have been greatly simplified. Citizens of many countries can now obtain an e-visa easily—or even enter visa-free for up to 30 days. Once inside, it's easy to reach top destinations thanks to the national train network and domestic flights. The cities offer plenty of accommodation options too.

At the same time, Uzbekistan still preserves many remote and undiscovered places for those seeking adventure and off-the-beaten-path experiences. There are no crowds or long lines here—just pure silence, nature, and millennia-old monuments waiting for you.

Traveling to Uzbekistan can become a true adventure and an unforgettable vacation! A sunny and warm country with juicy watermelons and melons, delicious plov and kebabs, camel rides, mountain hikes, strolls through the alleys of ancient cities, and desert nights under an infinite starry sky—this is Uzbekistan!

Our tours and excursions in Uzbekistan are as diverse as people’s interests. There’s so much to discover for lovers of history, architecture, religion, ecology, geography, ethnography, and more. For hands-on experiences, you’ll enjoy pottery, blacksmithing, wood carving, and other traditional crafts. Be amazed by deserts, mountains, lakes, canyons, caves, waterfalls, flora, and fauna—Uzbekistan is home to nearly 300 bird species!

We offer a wide variety of Uzbekistan tours covering almost every kind of travel experience. And if you don’t find your perfect itinerary, don’t worry: we’ll create a personalized program tailored to your wishes.

Thanks to a more flexible visa policy, traveling to Uzbekistan is now easier than ever! Citizens of several CIS countries can enter visa-free for up to 60 days, and nearly 80 other countries enjoy visa-free entry for up to 30 days.

Additionally, Uzbekistan offers an online system for issuing electronic tourist visas, making it quick and easy to plan your trip. There's also a 5-day visa-free transit program available for citizens of 30 countries.

Uzbekistan is a safe country for travelers, with a low crime rate. Law enforcement regularly patrols the streets and major tourist areas.

In Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva, a special tourist police service is active, providing assistance to visitors. Surveillance posts are also installed in crowded places.

Moreover, the centuries-old Uzbek tradition of hospitality creates a very welcoming and secure environment for international travelers.

Located in the heart of Central Asia, Uzbekistan has excellent road and air connections with major cities in Europe and Asia. Daily flights arrive at Tashkent International Airport from across the globe.

The railway network covers almost the entire country. The high-speed Afrosiyob train connects Tashkent, Samarkand, and Bukhara in just a few hours—offering comfort and efficiency.

Although long-distance buses are not very popular, many travelers choose minibuses or shared taxis to get between cities like Nukus or the Fergana Valley.

Uzbekistan experiences diverse climates across its deserts, valleys, and mountains, making it a suitable destination year-round. While spring and autumn attract the most tourists due to their pleasant weather, each season has something special to offer:

Winter is perfect for visitors who enjoy skiing, with resorts located just outside Tashkent. Desert regions remain dry, and it’s a budget-friendly time to travel with fewer tourists.

Summer can be extremely hot, with temperatures reaching 45°C. It’s a low season for tourism, ideal for saving on accommodations. Plan your excursions for early mornings or late afternoons.

Spring is an excellent season to visit. The country comes alive with green landscapes and blooming flowers. Major events like Navruz and cultural festivals are celebrated, especially in cities like Bukhara and Samarkand.

Autumn is the golden season for tourism. The weather is sunny and fresh across the country, and local markets are filled with seasonal produce. Mountain areas start getting cold by November. It’s an ideal time to visit, though prices may be higher.

Every trip to Uzbekistan can be a unique experience, depending on the season and your chosen itinerary. While it's difficult to see everything in one visit, a trip of 7–10 days allows for a rich and varied overview of the country.

If you only have 3 to 5 days, it's best to focus on Tashkent, Samarkand, and Bukhara. With one week, you can add Khiva or the Kyzylkum Desert. In 10+ days, you can explore the Fergana Valley, Termez, or the Chimgan Mountains.
