Planning your first trip to Uzbekistan? πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Ώ Watch this before you go.

After spending a full month traveling across Uzbekistan, we discovered that there were a lot of things we wish we had known before arriving β€” from booking trains and navigating the Silk Road cities to understanding cash, transportation, food, hotels, and cultural norms.

In this video, we're sharing 18 things first-time visitors should know before visiting Uzbekistan, including:
βœ… How to book Uzbekistan train tickets
βœ… The best order to visit Samarkand, Bukhara & Khiva
βœ… Common mistakes travelers make
βœ… The best time of year to visit
βœ… Visa and registration requirements
βœ… How to use Yandex Go taxis
βœ… What to expect from Uzbek food
βœ… Safety, money, language, and more

Whether you're planning a week-long trip or a month-long adventure through Central Asia, we hope tips will help make your trip smoother and more enjoyable.

After several years of full-time travel, we designed our own premium full-grain leather travel wallets to help keep passports, cards, cash, and travel documents organized on the road. Check them out at Travaci.com.
