In smaller communities, pharmacies may close earlier, so it is recommended to check locally.
Money
The currency of Uzbekistan is the Uzbek Sum (UZS), consisting of 100 tiyins. The word “sum” is derived from the Turkic “som”, which means “pure”. Since August 1, 1994, the Sum has become the only legal tender in Uzbekistan. There are banknotes in circulation in denominations of 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, 5,000, 10,000, 50,000, 100,000 and 200,000.

From modern subways to traditional shuttle buses, the transportation system connects historic cities and remote settlements, creating a unique mosaic of movement.

The Tashkent Metro, opened in 1977, is the first and only one in Central Asia. Its stations are architecturally striking and reflect national motifs, turning every trip into a small journey through the country’s cultural heritage. Since 2020, the metro has introduced a payment system using the “ATTO” transportation card, which has greatly simplified the fare payment process.
The bus network covers both large cities and small towns, ensuring accessibility and convenience of travel for all segments of the population.

Customs and airport taxes
In Uzbekistan, customs regulations are designed to facilitate trade while ensuring national security and compliance with international agreements. Duties and taxes apply to goods exceeding personal allowances. Rates vary based on the item’s classification and value.
It’s advisable to consult the latest information from official sources or your airline before traveling, as regulations and fees can change.
Shopping in Uzbekistan is a fascinating journey into the world of oriental crafts, colorful bazaars and unique souvenirs. Each city and even small towns offer their own special goods reflecting the rich culture and traditions of the country.
The capital city of Tashkent has a wide range of modern shopping centers and traditional bazaars. Chorsu and Alai Bazaar offer fresh produce, spices and souvenirs.
The Siab Bazaar in Samarkand or the market stalls of the historic Ichan-Kala in Khiva are known for a variety of sweets, halva, dried fruits, handicrafts, carpets, ceramics known for their graceful shapes and colorful ornaments, textiles with rich Suzan embroidery, and so on. Fabrics such as adras and khan atlas are known for their bright colors and patterns. Craft centers are also worth a visit, showcasing the work of local artisans that reflect the culture of the region.
Small towns and villages often have family-run workshops where you can buy directly from the artisans. This is a great way to support local artisans and get a unique souvenir.
Most grocery stores, supermarkets and minimarkets are open from 9:00-10:00 to 20:00-21:00. Industrial stores are usually open from 10:00 to 19:00-20:00. All stores and large shopping centers operate without breaks and weekends.
The mode of operation of pharmacies may vary depending on the region and the specific institution. In large cities, many pharmacies are open from early morning to late evening, and some are open around the clock. In smaller communities, pharmacies may close earlier, so it is recommended to check locally.
The currency of Uzbekistan is the Uzbek Sum (UZS), consisting of 100 tiyins. The word “sum” is derived from the Turkic “som”, which means “pure”. Since August 1, 1994, the Sum has become the only legal tender in Uzbekistan. There are banknotes in circulation in denominations of 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, 5,000, 10,000, 50,000, 100,000 and 200,000.
Banks in Uzbekistan work with individuals from 9:00 to 18:00 on weekdays, on Saturdays some banks are open until 15:00. You can exchange currency in banks, as well as in exchange offices on the streets of the city, in hotels, supermarkets, at train stations and airports. Many points in Tashkent work round the clock, in other cities — until 18:00-20:00.
When exchanging money in Uzbekistan, it’s important to be aware of authorized exchange points to ensure a smooth experience. Major banks, many hotels in urban areas, airports and train stations offer currency exchange services. When exchanging money, especially large amounts, be prepared to present identification, such as a passport.
ATMs are available in major cities and towns, allowing withdrawals in UZS. However, in rural areas, access to ATMs may be limited. While credit and debit cards are accepted in many establishments in urban areas, it’s prudent to carry cash when traveling to remote locations.
Uzbekistan’s public transportation is an integral part of everyday life, reflecting the country’s rich culture and dynamic development. From modern subways to traditional shuttle buses, the transportation system connects historic cities and remote settlements, creating a unique mosaic of movement. Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, boasts a well-developed public transportation system, including the Tashkent Metro, buses, and taxis.
The Tashkent Metro, opened in 1977, is the first and only one in Central Asia. Its stations are architecturally striking and reflect national motifs, turning every trip into a small journey through the country’s cultural heritage. Since 2020, the metro has introduced a payment system using the “ATTO” transportation card, which has greatly simplified the fare payment process.
The bus network covers both large cities and small towns, ensuring accessibility and convenience of travel for all segments of the population. Modern buses and shuttle buses (marshrutkas) run along established routes, offering a quick and economical way to get to the desired place. The introduction of the ATTO system has standardized fare payment and increased the transparency of fares.
Uzbekistan’s railroads is well developed and connect key cities and regions, playing an important role in the country’s economic development. Afrosiyob high-speed trains provide fast and comfortable connections between Tashkent, Samarkand and other major cities, allowing passengers to enjoy the scenery and historical sights while traveling.
Uzbekistan Airways, the national airline of Uzbekistan Airways, connects Uzbekistan to many international destinations, opening doors for cultural exchange and tourism. The country’s modern airports meet international standards, providing a high level of service and safety for passengers.
In Uzbekistan, photography in public places is allowed if there is no prohibition sign nearby. However, it is prohibited to take pictures of the military, law enforcement officers on duty, and military and transportation infrastructure. Recently, it has been proposed to prohibit taking pictures of citizens without their permission. When taking pictures, local traditions and laws should be respected.
You can reach Bishkek directly by the following airlines:
Please note that timetable due to COVID-19 is subject to change and contact airlines for valid schedule.
In 2018, Uzbekistan introduced a relaxation of the visa requirement for entry into the country.
