more from pre-history to the beginning of last century. A good
introduction to the country or a summary before you fly out again.
Amir Temur Square
Trees, as you will discover, shady trees, play a major role in the
life of Tashkent people. As of the first warm days of spring, life
shifts outdoors. Under the green-leaved branches surrounding the state
of Temur on his heavenly horse, children are at play, elderly gentlemen
are bent over their chess boards, lovers are in deep conversation and
little ladies sell sunflower seeds and ice-cream.
The Mayors Office
The Mayors office is both majestic and graceful, imposing and timelessly classic.
The Museum of Applied Arts

the finest work of the greatest masters, it today displays samples of
traditional Arts & Crafts, both antique and contemporary. The Museum
shop makes available high quality handmade embroidery and carpets.

decorated and absolutely spotless, a cool place to escape to from the
summer heat.
Broadway
Tashkent has its very own and it’s bustling with people, day and
night, just as in NYC. Shashlik, popcorn and ice-cream vendors line this
pedestrian area, bordering the Zerafshan entertainment complex,
trinkets are sold from streets and souvenirs towards the Amir Temur
Square and the sound of Karaoke prevails.
