UNESCO-listed Silk Road jewel — Tamerlane's 14th-century capital, with the Registan complex (three madrasahs) one of the most photographed monuments in Central Asia. Population around 500k, larger and more cosmopolitan than Bukhara (270km west), with both Russian and Uzbek as working languages. Wi-Fi has improved with Uzbektelecom's fibre expansion (2022+); coworking is thin but cafés are functional. Visa-free 30 days for most Western passports. Tashkent (the modern capital) is a 2-hour high-speed Afrosiyob train ride. Pairs with Bukhara as the canonical Uzbek heritage circuit — together with Tashkent they form the Silk Road trifecta most nomads time-box around 3-6 weeks.
