Beautiful building, although the inside is much smaller than you'd expect from the outside. Nonetheless this is a gorgeous building and well worth the visit. Take off your shoes and sit inside for a while, and enjoy the architecture. The Imam is friendly and will chat if you know a bit of Russian.

The Trading Domes are a wonderful sight, particularly against a blue sky. There are a cluster of domes, with some grander than others. From the inside, the domes are amazing when the light streams through the portals. It was quiet with few tourists during my visit, so it was nice to wander around and have a good look.

My brother and I visited on a Monday afternoon during tourist season and were the only visitors. I love this place. Many contemporary paintings and work from the last few decades that I thought was excellent. Very pleasant woman steered us through at our own pace. They sell some good books with excellent reproductions and some small ceramics. Very low key. It was 5000 soms to enter, 10000 if you want to take photos (50cents to a dollar!).

This citadel, the former residence of the khans is wonderful to visit: although only a portion is open it is possible to imagine how it was when it was a whole city of houses, courts, state institutions, stables, shops, mosques and more. Great during the day but also wander by at night when it is illuminated.
