Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Uzbek Som, UZS
Use local banks or official exchange offices (obmen) — rates are fair. Avoid airport money changers and hotel desks, which give poor rates.
Mastercard and Visa are accepted in supermarkets and chain restaurants, but small shops and markets are strictly cash. Contactless is common in newer places.
Not expected; rounding up the bill in restaurants is appreciated (5-10%). Taxis — round up to the nearest 1,000 som. Hotel staff don't expect tips unless carrying luggage.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →Chain coffee shops (like Cofix or local equivalents) sell espresso for about 15,000 UZS.
A business lunch menu at a mid-range cafe costs around 30,000 UZS.
A main course at a simple restaurant runs 25,000-40,000 UZS.
The Chorsu Bazaar area has cheap shashlik, lagman, and samsa. Also look for street stalls near metro stations in the city centre.
Common budget supermarket chains here include Korzinka, Makro, and Fabiyaka.
For affordable clothing, check the markets (like Chorsu or Oloy) or high street shops around Amir Timur Square.
The Tashkent metro (single ride ~1,400 UZS) is the cheapest way around; budget from airport: take bus #11 or #67 to the city centre (1,400 UZS) instead of a taxi.
1) Use the metro instead of taxis for short hops — it's clean and 1/10 the cost. 2) Eat at food courts in shopping centres rather than touristy restaurants. 3) Buy water and snacks at Korzinka supermarkets, not convenience stalls.

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Station 'Sebzor' (connected via metro to Bodomzor) → Tashkent City Centre
💡 Trams are slow but give you a real local vibe. Line 1 passes through older neighbourhoods with tree-lined streets. Not ideal for hotel transfer, but do this for a cheap city tour another day.
Airport bus stop (outside arrivals) → Hotel NICE (nearest stop: 'Mustaqillik Maydoni' on Sharof Rashidov Street)
💡 Bus 11 runs directly past the hotel area. Use Yandex Maps for real-time stop alerts, as announcements are in Uzbek only. Have small change or a transport card.
Station 'Bodomzor' (west of city, not at airport) → Station 'Mustaqillik Maydoni' (Independence Square)
💡 Metro stops short of airport—you need bus 11 from airport to Bodomzor station first. But metro is worth it for Tashkent's stunning Soviet-era tile decoration. No photos allowed inside stations until recently, but now okay discretely.
Islam Karimov Tashkent International Airport (TAS) → Hotel NICE (near Mustaqillik Maydoni)
💡 Book via Yandex Go app for fixed price; avoid drivers inside the terminal who quote 3x more. Stand near the exit gate for better GPS signal.

Top Attractions in Tashkent
💡 Go early morning (8-9am) to see the bread coming fresh from the tandyr ovens. Free to walk around but carry small sums for a cup of tea or a samsa.
💡 Sit on a bench near the fountain side around 5pm when locals gather. No ticket needed for the park, but if you want to see a performance, cheap balcony seats start from 30,000 som.
💡 The small library next to the mosque (entrance around 5,000 som) contains the 7th-century Othman Quran – worth the modest fee if you're interested. Best visited at sunset for golden light on the tiles.
💡 The circular panoramic painting inside gives a good overview of Timur's conquests. Avoid weekends when school groups arrive.
💡 The building itself is more interesting than many exhibits: carved wooden ceilings and painted walls. Go on a weekday afternoon to have the place almost to yourself. There's a small cafe in the courtyard.
