Thinking about Samarkand? This ancient Silk Road gem delivers jaw-dropping architecture and magical vibes at every turn 🤩✨
Top Spots to Visit:
1. Registan Square – The heart-stopper of Samarkand! Three stunning madrasahs covered in mosaics rise from this grand square: Ulugh Beg, Sher-Dor, and Tilya-Kori. Go early to avoid crowds and get golden hour shots. FYI: Registan is open year-round, 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM (Samarkand, Samarqand Region, Uzbekistan).
2. Samarqand Restaurant – When hunger strikes, hit up Samarqand (MVRV+PH5, Samarkand) for warming Uzbek classics and gorgeous decor. The plov (rice pilaf) is a must-try — ask them about the different styles!
Personal Tips:
Registan’s mosaics absolutely pop just after sunrise or before sunset — it’s pure travel magic for your camera roll! Also, locals are super friendly; try chatting with souvenir vendors for cool stories about the city.
Getting Around & More:
Samarkand is compact, so walking or short taxi rides (use local apps or hotel help) works best. Wear comfy shoes — historic streets can be uneven. Cash is king here; you’ll find ATMs everywhere, but bring enough Uzbek som for entry fees/taxis. Dress respectfully: shoulders and knees covered for mosques. Weather can get toasty midday, so pack sunscreen and a hat.
