Getting from the airport to Tashkent

Tashkent International Airport (TAS) is well-connected to the city center. You can take a taxi for around 30,000 to 50,000 UZS. Alternatively, use the Tashkent Metro from the airport, which is a more economical option.

Wander through Amir Timur Square, a central plaza with a statue of the national hero. Experience the Tashkent Metro, known for its ornate stations.

Local tips

Carry local currency (Uzbekistani Som) for smaller establishments and markets, as credit cards may not be widely accepted. Learn a few basic Russian or Uzbek phrases, as English is not commonly spoken outside tourist areas. Register at your hotel upon arrival; this is required by law.
