  We’ll start your walk at the very heart of Tashkent – a place every local is proud of. As you step into the wide open square, you’ll see the grand Arch of Independence with the shining globe on top. I’ll share with you how this spot became the symbol of a new Uzbekistan. Just a few steps away, we’ll pause at the Eternal Flame, where locals come to honour fallen heroes – a quiet, emotional moment that always leaves visitors touched. It’s a powerful mix of history, pride, and reflection, and the perfect way to begin your journey through the city.

  Romanov Palace

  Next, we’ll stroll over to one of Tashkent’s hidden treasures – the Romanov Palace. From the outside, you’ll notice its unique mix of Russian and European design, a rare sight in the city. I’ll tell you the fascinating story of Grand Duke Nicholas Romanov, who once lived here in exile. Today, you can’t enter inside, but standing before the palace feels like stepping back in time. It’s a favourite spot for photos, and locals love to share legends about the life of royalty in Central Asia.

  From history to everyday life, we’ll head into the colourful Broadway Alley – a lively pedestrian street loved by both locals and visitors. Here you’ll see painters selling their art, street performers entertaining the crowd, and little cafés tucked along the way. It’s the perfect place to slow down, soak in the atmosphere, and maybe even pick up a unique souvenir. Many travellers say this is where they really feel Tashkent’s modern, creative spirit.

  Amir Temur Square

  As we arrive at Amir Temur Square, you’ll see the striking statue of the great conqueror on horseback, standing proudly in the centre. This square is one of the busiest and most vibrant places in Tashkent, surrounded by grand buildings and leafy paths. I’ll share stories of Amir Temur’s powerful legacy and why he remains such an important figure in Uzbekistan’s history. It’s also a favourite spot for photos, where the past and present of the city come together.

  We’ll finish your walk at the iconic Hotel Uzbekistan, a symbol of the city’s Soviet-era architecture. Even if you’re not staying here, it’s worth pausing to admire its grand façade and elegant design. From this spot, you can enjoy a view of Amir Temur Square nearby and watch the city’s daily life unfold. Many visitors like to take photos here or grab a coffee in the area while reflecting on the day’s journey through Tashkent.
