Soviet-era Tashkent represents the modernist rebirth of the city following the devastating earthquake of 1966. Broad avenues, massive concrete structures, geometric compositions, domes, and glass facades reflect the architectural vision of 1970–1980s urban development.
The excursion introduces you to the key monuments of Tashkent modernism. You will see the Tashkent TV Tower — the tallest building in Central Asia, the Earthquake Memorial of 1966, the iconic domed Chorsu Bazaar, and the Palace of Friendship of Peoples. The tour includes a metro ride, a visit to the State Museum of History of Uzbekistan, the “Shark” publishing house, the residential complex “Zhemchug,” and ends at the Uzbekistan Hotel with a panoramic city view. This journey allows you to experience the atmosphere of Soviet Tashkent and the story of its post-war reconstruction.
