Market shopping in Uzbekistan

  1. Tezykovka

    Tezykovka is the local name for this vast 'flea market'. Also known as Yangiobod Market, this sombre sea of junk - 'anything from nails to nukes' as one resident put it - is located in the Khamza district, and reached by bus 30 from the Mustaqillik metro. Keep a close watch on your purse or wallet in this or any bazaar.

  2. Siob Bazaar

    Around and behind Bibi-Khanym, the frenetic, colourful main farmers market, called Siob Bazaar, is great for vegetarians and photographers, and may reward silk and souvenir hunters as well.

    Craft Stalls

    The main drag for craft stalls is the narrow alley that runs west from Islom-Hoja Minaret.

    Other souvenir and craft shops are wedged into many Ichon-Qala attractions.

  4. Ippodrom

    In warm weather, a big goods bazaar sprawls by the Ippodrom. The biggest day by far is on Sunday. The Ippodrom is 2km southwest from Sobir Rahimov metro.

  5. Oloy Bazaar

    This heavily policed market lacks the character of Chorsu, but will serve you well if your hotel is in the Amir Timur maydoni area.

  6. Mirobod Bazaar

    A fiesta of fruit bathing in the teal-green glow of its giant, octagonal flying saucer of a roof.
