Things to Do in Andijon

Central Friday mosque with a large courtyard, intricate brickwork and a single minaret. A quiet place for photos and reflection.

🕐 Open daily 05:00–21:00 (non-prayer times best for non-Muslims)

💡 Visit late afternoon when the light hits the brick facade and the crowds thin. Women should cover shoulders and knees.

Lively covered market selling dried fruits, nuts, spices and local textiles. Great people-watching and photography without spending anything.

🕐 Daily 06:00–18:00

💡 Go in the morning (08:00–10:00) for the best produce and least pushy sellers. Try the dried apricots—they're excellent value.
