Uzbekistan Bradt

Bradt Travel Guides. Engelsk Text. Edition 2025 Written by Central Asian expert and experienced travel writer Sophie Ibbotson, who is Uzbekistan s Tourism Ambassador to the UK, this new, fully updated fourth edition of Bradt s Uzbekistan remains the definitive practical travel guide to an increasingly liberal destination - Central Asia s most populous country and the heart of the Silk Road - offering more detail for independent travellers than any other guidebook, sharing first-hand descriptions of everything from UNESCO World Heritage sites and one of the world s best collections of Soviet avant-garde art, to riding across deserts by camel and cooking plov (lamb pilaf). A perfect spring or autumn destination, Uzbekistan is unexpectedly packed with diverse experiences, from the Silk Road cities of Bukhara and Khiva to glorious Islamic architecture. Explore the Kyzylkum Desert by camel, ski amid the western Tian Shan mountains, overnight by the Aral Sea to search for the bizarre saiga antelope, visit ancient desert fortresses in Karakalpakstan, or gawp at Registan s unmissable sound and light show. Stroll through Bukhara s old town, then take tea at a chaikhana teahouse or shop in the Chorsu Bazaar, trade s beating heart in Tashkent; or marvel at medieval tiled tombs in Shah-i Zinda and the magnificent 19th-century palace of Kokand ruler Khudayar Khan. It has never been easier to explore this fascinating country. Over the past decade, Uzbekistan s government has been strengthening its tourism offer, including improving infrastructure and reducing bureaucracy, culminating in it hosting a World Tourist Organisation conference in 2023 and initiating a new $300 million tourism strategy for 2030. Complemented by the author s 2023 Bradt guide to Karakalpakstan, this new edition reflects post-Covid 19 investments in tourism infrastructure, and provides more detailed economic and political insights. Entirely new elements include Amirsoy resort, Zarafshan nature reserve, Lower Amudarya Biosphere Reserve and Shirin ecovillage, while there is expanded coverage of Tashkent hotels, museums and shopping, Navoi tour operators, and new hotels in Khiva. Whether you re interested in culture, trekking, historical sites, archaeology and architecture, seeing endless deserts or majestic mountainscapes, or are fascinated by the Golden Road to Samarkand and Silk Road cities, Bradt s Uzbekistan is your ideal travel companion.
