Amir Temur Square
Amir Temur Square is one of the key local landmarks. In its center stands a bronze equestrian statue of Timur, with the warhorse rearing and Timur depicted in royal robes with a majestic expression. The pedestal is inscribed in multiple languages with his famous quote, "Strength is in justice," and this statue is now one of the iconic images of Tashkent. The overall space here is quite open, with surrounding green spaces, trees, and city roads forming an open urban public space, making it a square with significant historical symbolism in the Tashkent urban landscape.Tashkent · 3.5 km from downtown
Chorsu Bazaar
Chorsu Bazaar is located in the heart of Tashkent's old city, adjacent to the Kukeldash Madrasah, and is a traditional market that has thrived for centuries. The massive concrete structure supports a huge dome covered in mosaics, where Soviet modernism and Central Asian domed traditions uniquely merge. The main building has multiple levels, and stalls are divided by category: in the fruit and vegetable section, apples, melons, pomegranates, and persimmons are piled high according to the season; another level is dedicated to dried fruits, nuts, and oriental sweets, and you can also buy rice for pilaf and hot naan freshly baked in tandoor ovens on the spot. The open-air area outside the dome has a more local feel, with stalls selling daily necessities, small appliances, clothing, and footwear stretching out. You can also watch artisans crafting bowls, musical instruments, and small boxes on-site. It remains a go-to spot for locals to do their daily shopping, vibrant with local atmosphere.Tashkent · 3.1 km from downtown

Amir Temur Square is the absolute heart of Tashkent and the perfect spot to start exploring the city.It is basically a huge, green roundabout with a massive bronze statue of Tamerlane on his horse right in the middle. The vibe here is super laid-back, clean, and safe. It gets especially lively in the evenings when the summer heat starts and both locals and tourists come out to stroll.

Chorzu Bazaar is a must visit whenever in Taskent. Here you can experience the vibrant atmosphere of sellers doing their best to offload their produce. Spices, teas, butchers, bakers, fruit and vegtable stands, you name it. Visit time is best in morning when crowds are big and you get the best feel.
