About Tashkent

Tashkent's Khast Imam complex holds one of the world's oldest Qurans, and the Chorsu bazaar's dome covers the city's spices and produce. The metro's decorated stations and the independence square tell the Soviet and post-Soviet story, and the Hazrati Imam and the Amir Timur museum fill the days. April to June and September to October are the most comfortable months; summer is hot and dry, and the city is the transport hub of Central Asia.
