🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Bukhara airport (bus stop outside terminal on Samarqand shoh ko‘chasi) → Lyabi Hauz (get off at Toqi Zargaron stop)
💡 Buy a reusable ATTO transport card at the airport kiosk (5,000 UZS) to avoid fumbling for coins. The bus stop is a 3-min walk east of the terminal. Tell the driver 'Lyabi Hauz' so they warn you—the stop is unmarked on the side of the main road.
Kogon station area (if arriving by train from Tashkent or Samarkand) → Lyabi Hauz (stop near Toqi Sarrofon)
💡 Minibuses don’t display route numbers well—just wave any marshrutka with '11' or '29' on its side and shout 'Lyabi!' The ride is bumpy but drops you 150m from the hotel area. Keep small change ready; drivers rarely give change for large notes.
Bukhara International Airport (BHK) → Lyabi Hauz hotel district
💡 Ignore drivers inside the terminal offering 80,000+ UZS. Walk 50m past the parking lot to the main road and flag down a passing yellow taxi—they’ll take you for 30,000. Or order via Yandex Taxi app (prepaid, fixed price).
Anywhere in central Bukhara (e.g., Ark Fortress) → Lyabi Hauz hotel area
💡 Set the destination as 'Buxoro Lyabi Havuz'—drivers know it. Economy class is fine; avoid Comfort unless you need a newer car with AC. Pay cash don’t add card, as many drivers cancel card orders in this area.

Top Attractions in Bukhara
💡 The best time is mid-morning when the light streams through the dome's holes. Haggling is expected—start at half the asking price for souvenirs like embroidered suzani cloth.
💡 Visit just after morning prayer (around 8am) when the courtyard is empty and the light hits the painted columns. Women should bring a scarf for entry.
💡 Hire a boat for around 10,000 som (under £1) for 20 minutes—it's a quiet way to see the park from the water. Bring your own snacks as the cafes are pricey.
💡 Go at sunset to see the pool reflect the gold-lit madrasas. The teahouses around the plaza charge for drinks, but sitting on the pool's stone edge costs nothing.
💡 You can walk around the base and into the main gateway for free. For the best view without paying, cross the street to the pedestrian bridge near the Bolo Hauz Mosque.
