Full review of Tajikistan Trip

Just had an adventure crossing Yvelines (France) to the heart of Tajikistan 🇫🇷✈️🇹🇯. Picture dreamy riverside views, mountain valleys, and a stay at Hilton Dushanbe that’s honestly a level above!

Top Spots to Visit

île des Impressionnistes, Yvelines (78400 Chatou, France; open all day): Channel your inner impressionist and chill by the Seine. The vibe: art history meets picnics and slow living. Free to wander, and sunset is totally IG-worthy.

Dushanbe, Tajikistan: Dive into wide leafy boulevards, Soviet nostalgia, and bustling tea houses. Don't miss Rudaki Park or the National Museum for cultural deep-dives.

Hilton Dushanbe (Ayni St. 48): This place is gold for both short or longer stays. Only 5–10 mins from the airport (so you’re out of passport control and into comfort fast), surrounded by top attractions and shops. Spa and gym = immaculate and equipped for a post-sightsee recharge. The breakfast buffet is king (seriously—custom eggs any style, abundant options). Major shoutout to the staff for being helpful, English-speaking, and problem-solvers. The rooms? Spacious, clean, with stellar beds and bathrooms. Bonus points for their eco-friendly laundry policy.

Ghafurov/Khujand Airport: Your jump-off point up north! From here, look for day-trips into the Fann Mountains or Sughd valley—these are Tajikistan’s best valleys to visit if you love wild scenery and fewer crowds.

Quick Tips
Getting Around: Dushanbe is taxi-friendly and affordable—just ask hotel staff to help you book. Walking is pleasant downtown, but for airport runs, stick with hotel taxis for peace of mind.
Eating: Don’t skip the Hilton’s Asian restaurant scene—a local favorite even for non-guests!
Money: Credit cards work at big hotels, but most spots are cash-only.
Weather: Spring and early summer = best for valley adventures.
