Air: Uzbekistan Airways (HY) flies to all the major towns and cities in Uzbekistan on a regular basis. Destinations include Tashkent, Samarkand, Navoi (which is 45 minutes by bus from Bukhara), Nukus, Karshi, Termez, Andijan and Namangan. Flights within Uzbekistan and to other CIS countries are subject to delays owing to fuel shortages and overbooking. It is necessary to register with Ovir (the police emigration department) at the airport to have one's ticket endorsed before flying. Visitors must pay for flights in US Dollars. Tickets can be bought at the Uzbekistan Airways ticket agency opposite the Hotel Russia on Shota Rustaveli in Tashkent. Approximate flight times
From Tashkent to Termez is 1 hour 20 minutes, to Nukus is 2 hours, to Samarkand is 40 minutes, to Navoi is 1 hour and to Namangan is 1 hour 40 minutes. Rail
There are 3400km (2113 miles) of railways linking Termez, Samarkand, Bukhara, the Fergana Valley and Nukus. There are two train stations in Tashkent – North and South. The Trans-Caspian Railway traverses the country from Chardzhou in Turkmenistan via Kagan (near Bukhara), Samarkand and Dzhizak, where the railway branches off to serve the capital Tashkent. Passengers should store valuables under the bed or seat, and should not leave the compartment unattended. Road
The republic of Uzbekistan is served by a reasonable road network. Traffic drives on the right. Bus
Services connect all the major towns within Uzbekistan. Taxi
Taxis and cars for hire can be found in all major towns. It is safer to use officially marked taxis, although many taxis are unlicensed. Travelers are advised to agree a fare in advance, and not to share taxis with strangers. As many of the street names have changed since independence, it is also advisable to ascertain both the old and the new street names when asking directions. Cars can be hired by the trip, by the hour or by the day or week. Documentation
An International Driving Permit will be required when car-hire facilities have been introduced. Urban
Tashkent is served by taxis, buses, trolleybuses, trams and the only metro in Central Asia. The metro network was expanded in 1991, making it 31km (19 miles) long, with 23 stations. Public transport is cheap and generally reliable. Valuables should not be flaunted. There are regular bus services to all major towns in Uzbekistan. |
