Uzbekistan Holidays

Slap bang on the trading routes that for centuries linked the great civilisations of China and the Mediterranean, Uzbekistan is world-renowned for its glorious Silk Route cities Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva.

Samarkand is awash with history with Registan Square, possibly the most recognisable of all Central Asia’s monuments, at its heart. Bhukara boasts a historic legacy stretching back over 16 Centuries, evident in the hundreds of mosques and madrasas that dot the city, and Khiva is an utterly enchanting medieval wonderland of minarets, mosques and bazaars.

Uzbekistan’s capital Tashkent is a quirky mix of modern and brutalist Soviet architecture, with a grand metro system. The desert region of Karakalpakstan is a wonderful place to observe traditional nomad life, startling starry skies and explore the desolate sights of the fast disappearing Aral Sea.

Trailfinders offers a range of Uzbekistan holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to join a sociable guided group tour or are looking for advice to combine your Uzbekistan holiday with other countries in Central Asia or Europe - they are the perfect people to ask.
