Getting Around Andijon
Buses are Soviet-era and often crowded. Pay with cash to the driver (exact change needed). Get off at Markaziy Bozor, then walk straight down Navoi Street; the hotel is on your left.
Bus 2 is slower but drops you closer to the hotel. Look for the white-and-blue bus. Signal the driver to stop by raising your hand; ring the bell once before your stop.
Shared taxis gather just outside the terminal. Agree the price before getting in — they'll try to charge foreigners double. You can flag one down on the main road if you prefer.
Use the Yandex Go app — flagging down a taxi is possible but harder outside the airport. Pay by card if you can; drivers rarely have change for large notes.
