    Other things to know before you go

    Uzbekistan’s travel infrastructure is improving rapidly, but thoughtful planning still pays off, especially with transport and occasional visa details. Public transport is reliable in major hubs, less so in the countryside. Dress respectfully at religious sites, and aim for spring or autumn when the weather is at its friendliest. What you’ll find here is a destination packed with beauty, warmth, and stories worth remembering.
