It’s a large complex. Has souvenir stores in the courtyard. The mosque is grand with a lovely dome and calligraphy. There is also a live mosque in the complex and a museum with the oldest Quran.

Navoi Opera Theatre has daily performances at ridiculously cheap prices making it a great place to experience an opera. I was lucky to catch a rare matinee performance of one (Aleko by S.Rakhmaninov) as I always arrived late and never stayed through an evening in Tashkent. Looking around in its beautiful interior is worth the price of admission alone. The performance I caught had a good balance of singing and dancing making it interesting enough to sit through for 90 minutes.

Charvak Lake lies in the vicinity of Chimgan Mountains and a wonderful place to spend one’s summer’s break. Snow covered mountains with pristine meadows, tall trees adds to the beauty of this artificial lake built to provide electricity to Tashkent. The blue color of water is matched by the green colored mountains and the distant snow covered ranges.At a first glance one is amazed that such a beautiful lake and snow covered mountains are just at the corner of desert land. A peaceful place to enjoy the surrounding beauty. The biggest snow peak is known as ‘Bolshoi’. Several resorts lines the lake. Local mountain honey is unique buy of this place. During our visit the chair-lift was out-of-order. Lack of local transportation has kept the lake area more attractive for tourists.Perfect for a days trip from Tashkent with friends, family and even solo travelers.

Must visit place in Tashkent. Each subway station has its own design and history. You can feel Soviet atmosphere.
8. State Museum "In Memory of the Victims of Repression"

The monument with the small park around is well-kept and looks beautiful. The museum is small but nice, with 2 turquoise blue domes. The memorial and the museum "In Memory of the Victims of Repression" applies to the years under Soviet reign until Uzbekistan became independent. Mainly the time under the Bolsheviks, from 1917, and under Stalin. Authoritarian power through politics, the police, the public prosecutor's office and the judiciary - not only towards individuals. The place is nice and tells of history and the understanding of suffering under Soviet reign. Historically relevant, tragic and sad. Definitely a must if you want to get to know the history of Uzbekistan. Also nice for a cozy little walk there, really a nice monument and little park around. The monument can be viewed in combination with the city tour by bus. There is a short stop of around 15 minutes. Or else, if you want to visit the museum, you can take the bus or the metro (Shahristan St). I prefer the taxi.
