Opening hours Uzbekistan

To see / To do Uzbekistan

Most shops close on Sundays, but street vendors work seven days a week. In the worst case, it will be enough to go to the nearest bazaar. In the very touristy areas of Bukhara and Samarkand, some shops are open every day and do not close until late in the evening. Also, souvenir stores are usually open every day, with some exceptions. During the Ramadan period, some store owners may decide to close their stores. During the off-season, it can also be difficult to find the artisans, but a simple phone call will open the door. Points of interest are generally open every day, but most museums have a weekly closing day, usually Monday.

Enjoying yourself Uzbekistan

There are no real opening hours: restaurants operate continuously throughout the day. Except in the big hotels or very touristy areas, the establishments generally close their doors quite early, at 10 or 10:30 pm maximum.

Take a break Uzbekistan

Most tea houses usually close early in the evening, and very rarely after 10pm.

(To) please yourself Uzbekistan

Shops are generally open every day in urban centres and tourist areas. Small craftsmen also open the doors of their shops and workshops every day during the high tourist season, but may reduce their opening hours or days in winter. Nevertheless, it is often possible to find the telephone number for opening the door in the shop window or at a neighbour's home.

Get out Uzbekistan

Except for a few rare establishments, the cities go to sleep relatively early, around 10 pm. There is a semblance of nightlife in Tashkent, but it is only frequented by the Uzbek intelligentsia and the atmosphere is generally not very relaxed.
