Money
The local currency is the Uzbek som. Carry some cash for bazaars and small towns, though cards are increasingly accepted in cities and hotels.
Travel Tips
A few practical pointers will help your trip through Uzbekistan run smoothly and respectfully.
Dress & Etiquette
Uzbeks are famously hospitable. Modest dress is appreciated at mosques and mausoleums, and a few words of Uzbek or Russian go a long way.
Stay Healthy
Drink bottled or filtered water, try the plov and fresh bread, and pace yourself in the summer heat with plenty of shade and rest.
