The former Russian city has retained a provincial feel. Its wide streets lined with low houses and small buildings hidden under the trees differ radically from the Uzbek style and the bright colors, pink, green or purple in pastel shades, give it a very particular aspect, quite characteristic of the Russian cities of Central Asia. It was built close to Marguilan, which kept a traditional plan and an indigenous population, where Ferghana remained for a long time populated mainly by Russian settlers. The city has retained its colonial layout and all its avenues converge on a vast empty space where the Soviet fortress once stood, guarding the fertile and strategic valley. Ferghana also boasts of being the greenest city in Uzbekistan. And in fact, while walking in its streets planted with gigantic plane trees or in the Navoi park, one quickly forgets that one is surrounded, on the outskirts of the city, by chemical fertilizer production plants and a refinery. If the monuments of Ferghana have nothing particularly interesting, the city is nevertheless a pleasant stopover and its many hotels make it a good point of radiation to discover the rest of the valley.
