Samarkand
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Uzbekistan and southern/western Kazakhstan were not bad at all, and the weather meant there were not too many tourists in cities like Samarkand and Bukhara
- Samarkand is the highlight. Magnificent madrasahs mosques and mausoleums. Probably two days worth.
- I loved Samarkand when I was there last year! Unbelievable architecture.
- It was as expected architecturally stunning.
- My original idea was to keep it simple and focus on Tashkent, Samarkand and Bukhara, travelling by train. This feels very straightforward and stress-free, and I know these cities are the core highlights of Uzbekistan.
