It’s a large complex. Has souvenir stores in the courtyard. The mosque is grand with a lovely dome and calligraphy. There is also a live mosque in the complex and a museum with the oldest Quran.

Navoi Opera Theatre has daily performances at ridiculously cheap prices making it a great place to experience an opera. I was lucky to catch a rare matinee performance of one (Aleko by S.Rakhmaninov) as I always arrived late and never stayed through an evening in Tashkent. Looking around in its beautiful interior is worth the price of admission alone. The performance I caught had a good balance of singing and dancing making it interesting enough to sit through for 90 minutes.

Charvak Lake lies in the vicinity of Chimgan Mountains and a wonderful place to spend one’s summer’s break. Snow covered mountains with pristine meadows, tall trees adds to the beauty of this artificial lake built to provide electricity to Tashkent. The blue color of water is matched by the green colored mountains and the distant snow covered ranges.At a first glance one is amazed that such a beautiful lake and snow covered mountains are just at the corner of desert land. A peaceful place to enjoy the surrounding beauty. The biggest snow peak is known as ‘Bolshoi’. Several resorts lines the lake. Local mountain honey is unique buy of this place. During our visit the chair-lift was out-of-order. Lack of local transportation has kept the lake area more attractive for tourists.Perfect for a days trip from Tashkent with friends, family and even solo travelers.

Located in a quiet street near some embassies this showcases a range of exquisite art and handicrafts. It doesn't take too long to wander round. It has a lovely wee shop at the back and a nice courtyard to relax under awning with a coffee.

7. Chorsu Bazaar

A large open-air market that is open daily and sells almost everything.
Reviewed By Alok_Nahata - Alor Setar, Malaysia
Chorsu bazaar is the biggest market place of Tashkent. You will get everything here right from souvenirs, handicrafts, crockeries, fruits, vegetables, nuts, dryfruits, milk products, local cuisines, restaurants, money exchange and a metro station too which opens right in the middle of the market. A must visit place for some very good and cheap souvenir shopping. Only requirement is bargaining and that too upto very high levels. Some money exchangers operate invisibly. When you need to pay, the shopkeepers will ask them to come and they will change for you. Rates similar to the banks and might be better also. I got it same as the bank and it was justifiable. No fowl play. A very good place to buy some hand made crockeries which are not found anywhere else in the world as they are a specialty of UZB. Dead cheap prices when compare to USD. Must buy and take away. They will pack very nicely to keep the materials safe in our check-in luggage. Another special thing to buy here is the Evil Eye which seems to prevent from negative energies. If not believe in this thing, still a good decorative material, looks very nice. Overall, too good a place to go in Tashkent and should not be missed in any case.
8. Independence Square (Mustakillik Square)

After independence in 1991, the square was officially renamed Mustaqillik Maydoni. The Mustaqillik Maydoni (Independence Square) is a central square / park in Tashkent. Like all sights, it is well maintained and clean. It is calm and relaxed. I would describe this place more as a kind of park for walking. In addition to the laid out paths for running, the huge, green lawn and the wonderful fountains and water fountains, the two central and impressive monuments are the colonnade with the 3 storks and the independence monument. In the lower part of the monument there is a mother who symbolizes the fatherland Uzbekistan and holds a child who represents the future. The bronze globe on the base shows the outline of Uzbekistan. I personally find the storks more impressive, even if the independence monument has a higher priority in terms of the history of Uzbekistan. In any case, it is wonderful to walk through the green and to enjoy the silence and the clean nature. Even when there are people, all are calm and polite. Not to compare with European parks where are people with music, loud voices or graffities.

Amir Timur Square (Amir Temur xiyabani) is a central square in the Uzbek capital Tashkent. The square was created in 1882 and it received several names during its time, until the square was named after Tamleran / Timurs after independence from the Soviet Union. In the middle of the square is the bronze Amir Timurs equestrian statue. The square with its flowers, bushes and benches invites you to take a short walk and take a break. The square is enclosed by the Amir Timur Museum. The impressive building with its turquoise blue dome is already beautiful from the outside. Inside, objects and models of the warlord Amir Timur, his era and his dynasty are exhibited on two floors. Quite worthwhile. Already from the decoration and design of the interior, as well as the chandelier. The famous hotel "Uzbekistan" is also located on this square. The first hotel to open in Tashkent. However, unmarried Uzbek couples are not allowed to stay in the same room. While this is permitted to foreign couples, Uzbeken must present a marriage certificate. Another impressive and fascinating building is the snow-white Palace of International Forums, with its white dome and the two huge storks on it. The view from the outside, through the architecture, is impressive. The building is used for state acts, congresses, conferences and cultural highlights. This place, including the buildings surrounding it, is worth a visit when you visit Tashkent. Same like the most places in Tashkent - quiet (even when there are always people), friendly and great care. It is a central place, so there are some main streets around. WTF - Sorry, I do not understand some reviews before. Yes, trees need water. And on streets drive cars. But when this are reasons to give bad critics for a wonderful place. When critize the needed water. The one may get better information to know more about Uzbekistan. The cotton that is exported worldwide needs a lot more water than some parks.
