LONDON, December 25. /Dunyo IA/. The respected British travel portal Lonely Planet has published an article titled “7 packed days in Uzbekistan: The ultimate itinerary”, reports Dunyo IA correspondent.

The publication presents a one-week itinerary across Uzbekistan, offering recommendations on key cities, major attractions, local cuisine and practical travel tips.

The article’s author, Akanksha Singh, notes that while Uzbekistan is widely celebrated for its “blue” architectural highlights - the azure domes of Mir-i-Arab Madrasa in Bukhara, the turquoise Kalta Minor Minaret in Khiva, and the clear, cloudless skies - it was the country’s golden and amber hues that left the deepest impression on her: cotton fields, desert landscapes, sunsets over the Ayaz-Kala fortress and the facade of the Ismail Samani Mausoleum.

Singh’s journey covers Tashkent, Nukus, Khiva, Bukhara, and Samarkand, with particular focus on cultural and historical landmarks such as the Hazrati Imam Complex, I.V. Savitsky Museum, Ichon-Qala, Registan, and Shah-i-Zinda Necropolis. She also shares her experiences of local cuisine, bustling markets, traditional hammams and artisanal workshops, offering readers a vivid picture of Uzbekistan’s rich heritage and vibrant daily life.

A dedicated section of the article offers practical tips for travelers, covering the best time to visit, transportation options, connectivity, appropriate clothing and intercity travel, including the use of the “Afrosiyob” high-speed trains.

In conclusion, the author emphasizes that while a one-week trip allows visitors to see Uzbekistan’s main attractions, it is recommended to plan a journey of at least 10 days to fully experience the country’s culture, history and unique atmosphere.
