The first of the Central Asian countries we visited in Spring 2015, a journey captured in the ‘Stans’ blog. Some of the locations have been linked below for easy access, but they are not different from the blog entries.
Soviet-style town, but with a fabulous museum
beautifully restored walled museum town
Silkroad oasis city with an attractive old town
Islamic centre with impressive mosques and madrasses
Tamerlane's birthplace, yet not the most exciting town
Mostly big and ugly, but also charming Uzbek capital
cotton-centre of Uzbekistan, full of friendly people
Fergana silk capital, with several markets
