[Uzbekistan] A trip around Chorsu and Siyob, two great bazaars 🕌

Conquering the two most iconic bazaars in the capital, Tashkent, and the ancient city of Samarkand❤️ If you're traveling to Uzbekistan, be sure to stop by the bazaars!✨ This place, packed with the essence of human life, is a place where colors, scents, and voices come together to stimulate your senses. [Chorsu Bazaar] (Tashkent) Boasting over 100 years of history, Chorsu Bazaar is Tashkent's largest market, dominated by its impressive, gigantic blue dome. The first thing that's overwhelming upon entering the dome is its vastness and beautifully curved ceiling.⭐️ The first floor is the meat zone.🥩. With the meat being slaughtered in the center, the meat on display is truly "fresh as can be." However, it does have a slightly distinctive smell, so be careful if you're sensitive to it. On the second floor, energetic shopkeepers pile up nuts and sell them by weight.🌰 Their friendliness, always asking if you'd like to try some, is also a charming feature. Outside the dome, there's a vast area selling everything from vegetables and fruits, souvenirs, freshly baked bread, clothing, and everyday items. This is a place where you can fully experience everyday life in Uzbekistan. 📍Access📍 Tafakkur ko'chasi 57, Toshkent Right next to Chorsu Bazar Subway Station🚃 The station is a little unassuming, so look for the subway sign. In fact, if you ask someone, "Where's the station?", they'll laugh and say, "It's over here!"😄 Hours: 8:00 AM - 11:00 PM (Open every day) 💰Free admission. Restrooms: 3,000 soum [Siyob Bazaar] (Samarkand) Siyob Bazaar, located near the tourist area of ​​Samarkand, is a market filled with the aroma of spices and dried goods.🌶️ As a city that once prospered through trade on the Silk Road, the variety of spices is surprisingly abundant. The vibrantly colored spices lined up in rows are like a painting. 🎨 The fruits and vegetables are juicy, and the dried fruits make perfect souvenirs. 🍊 There's also a clothing and household goods section, with a wide selection of colorful Uzbek traditional clothing. As you walk, you might encounter mothers with babies begging, so keep a close eye on your wallet. 📍Access📍 MX6H+QWW, Bibikhonim Str., Samarqand Conveniently located near the Bibikhonim Mosque, this bazaar is perfect for a quick stop between sightseeing. Hours: 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM (Closed Mondays) 💰Free admission. Restrooms: 3,000 soum 💡Travel Tip💡 Bargaining is essential at both bazaars! A good tip is to check the going rates around you first before buying. Bring a calculator and ask for actual figures to make the process smoother. The people of Uzbekistan are cheerful and kind, so don't forget to smile and say hello, even for the smallest of transactions. 😊 Chorsu is the "urban market," while Siob is the "historical market." Each has its own unique character, and both are places where you can truly experience the charm of Uzbekistan. 🧡 #ChorsuBazaar #JobBazaar #Tashkent #Samarkand #Uzbekistan #TravelGuide
