It’s a true peak into the culture of that period. Beautiful architecture and the facade is iconic. The complex has a mosque and another smaller Madrasa.

I had some time to kill between meetings at the Hyatt so took a 4-hour walk around Tashkent. Passed the Autograph on the way back and decided to take a look inside. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and range of art and handicrafts from Uzbekistan for sale. Excellent handwoven Uzbek fabrics and pillowcases, ceramics, jewelry, beautiful paintings, woodcarvings, even clothes for sale - all in one easy to navigate place, all nicely arranged. Slightly more expensive than some other shops and markets around town but the Autograph was definitely a much relaxing more shopping experience. Excellent service and wrapping of things for the flight home. Highly recommended.

This is a cool place to see a very tall flagpole with the Uzbek flag, and a monument. It has a really cool vibe to it, and is worth visiting.

After independence in 1991, the square was officially renamed Mustaqillik Maydoni. The Mustaqillik Maydoni (Independence Square) is a central square / park in Tashkent. Like all sights, it is well maintained and clean. It is calm and relaxed. I would describe this place more as a kind of park for walking. In addition to the laid out paths for running, the huge, green lawn and the wonderful fountains and water fountains, the two central and impressive monuments are the colonnade with the 3 storks and the independence monument. In the lower part of the monument there is a mother who symbolizes the fatherland Uzbekistan and holds a child who represents the future. The bronze globe on the base shows the outline of Uzbekistan. I personally find the storks more impressive, even if the independence monument has a higher priority in terms of the history of Uzbekistan. In any case, it is wonderful to walk through the green and to enjoy the silence and the clean nature. Even when there are people, all are calm and polite. Not to compare with European parks where are people with music, loud voices or graffities.

Amir Timur Square (Amir Temur xiyabani) is a central square in the Uzbek capital Tashkent. The square was created in 1882 and it received several names during its time, until the square was named after Tamleran / Timurs after independence from the Soviet Union. In the middle of the square is the bronze Amir Timurs equestrian statue. The square with its flowers, bushes and benches invites you to take a short walk and take a break. The square is enclosed by the Amir Timur Museum. The impressive building with its turquoise blue dome is already beautiful from the outside. Inside, objects and models of the warlord Amir Timur, his era and his dynasty are exhibited on two floors. Quite worthwhile. Already from the decoration and design of the interior, as well as the chandelier. The famous hotel "Uzbekistan" is also located on this square. The first hotel to open in Tashkent. However, unmarried Uzbek couples are not allowed to stay in the same room. While this is permitted to foreign couples, Uzbeken must present a marriage certificate. Another impressive and fascinating building is the snow-white Palace of International Forums, with its white dome and the two huge storks on it. The view from the outside, through the architecture, is impressive. The building is used for state acts, congresses, conferences and cultural highlights. This place, including the buildings surrounding it, is worth a visit when you visit Tashkent. Same like the most places in Tashkent - quiet (even when there are always people), friendly and great care. It is a central place, so there are some main streets around. WTF - Sorry, I do not understand some reviews before. Yes, trees need water. And on streets drive cars. But when this are reasons to give bad critics for a wonderful place. When critize the needed water. The one may get better information to know more about Uzbekistan. The cotton that is exported worldwide needs a lot more water than some parks.
