Top Attractions in Samarkand
💡 Best in the morning (8-10am) when produce is fresh. Haggle gently on crafts, but prices on food are fixed.
💡 Wear a headscarf if you're female, and shoes off at the entrance. The small garden behind is quiet for a sit-down.
💡 Bring a book or a picnic. The park is busiest after 5pm in summer, but quieter at 10am.
💡 Entry costs 40,000 som (about £3), but is free on the first Monday of each month. Go early (9am) to avoid tour buses.
💡 Visit half an hour before sunset: the change in light on the tiles is stunning, and the crowds thin out after 6pm.
