[2025 Tashkent Attraction] Travel Guide for Chorsu Bazaar (Updated Jul)

Huge local market in Tashkent cannot be skipped. We went to celebrate the birthday of my friend to Tashkent for 3 days and of course Choray Bazaar was in our list. It’s a huge local market full of nuts, fruits, tea, meat and son inside. Outside you can also find clothes and other goods as well. Don’t forget to bargain! The nuts and pomegranate were so delicious and the prices were cheaper than we have in Russia so we bought them as the gifts for our friends and everyone liked them a lot! #celebrateit

📍Location: Tafakkur ko'chasi 57, Toshkent, Toshkent, Uzbekistan 🏖️Atmosphere/Facilities: Lively 💞Reasons for recommendation: A glimpse into daily life Chorsu Bazaar in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan🇺🇿 It's a big market where locals also shop. They sell a variety of things, from meat and dairy products, pickles (side dishes?) to dried goods such as nuts🥜Raw meat is sold at room temperature, and pickles like kimchi are sold, and a world I didn't know was spreading🌏 The guys at the nut section on the second floor are very proactive in their service, and they talk to you as if they're going to catch you😂 I was allowed to try a lot of samples, and I ended up buying a lot of nuts because they were so delicious, which I had never tried before. It was a lot of fun, a style of service that you don't get in Japan☺️🤍 ⚠️I got the impression that they didn't speak much English. I recommend using a translator or learning Uzbek ⭕️ (You can get by with gestures and the atmosphere) #tashkent #Tashkent #Tashkent #Chorsubazaar #chorsubazaar

In Uzbekistan, bread is more than food—it’s tradition, pride, and poetry. Known as non or lepeshka, it’s round, golden, and beautifully stamped with patterns that vary by region. You’ll see it everywhere: stacked in bazaars, handed through car windows, gifted at weddings, and placed with care at every table. Bakers use clay ovens called tandirs, and watching the bread bake is a sensory delight—the dough slapped against hot walls, puffing up and crisping at the edges. Some are simple; others are stuffed with onion or herbs. But all are sacred. It’s considered bad luck to place bread upside down or discard it. Tips for travelers 📝 The freshest non is found in bazaars or small neighborhood bakeries. Pair it with green tea, cheese, or plov—it complements everything. Try the Samarkand-style non—thicker, chewier, and deeply satisfying. Don’t rush: the texture and flavor are best enjoyed slowly, like a ritual. Take one bite, and you'll understand why bread is life here. #UzbekNon #BreadIsLife #TandirTraditions #EdibleHeritage #FoodThatConnects #UzbekistanEats #SacredCircle #TripMoments #CarbsAndCulture #SilkRoadFlavors

From the outside, Chorsu Bazaar is a striking sight—a massive, turquoise-domed structure that rises like a relic from another era at the heart of Tashkent’s old town. The building’s Soviet modernist design, fused with traditional Islamic architectural motifs, gives it a unique presence: both futuristic and ancient. It almost looks like some strange alien spaceship that’s landed. Its tiled patterns shimmer in the spring sun, hinting at the chaos and color that lie within. Bustling crowds weave around the entrances, vendors spill onto the sidewalks, and the scent of spices and fresh produce drifts through the air, drawing you closer to the heartbeat of the city. #springwander #tashkent #uzbekistan

Stepping inside Chorsu Bazaar for the first time is like diving into a whirlwind of color, sound, and scent. Under the vast turquoise dome, rows of stalls stretch out in every direction, piled high with vivid spices, fresh fruits, nuts, and sweets. Vendors call out cheerfully, offering samples with proud smiles, while the rhythm of bargaining hums all around. The air is thick with the smell of dried apricots, cumin, and freshly baked bread. Every corner reveals something new—towering sacks of rice, glistening pomegranates, mountains of golden samsa. It’s overwhelming, lively, and deeply alive—a true feast for the senses. #springwander #tashkent #uzbekistan

The largest bazaar in Uzbekistan✨ In addition to the symbolic central dome, there are many shops outside, and it's so large that it may take half a day to see every corner😂💦 The first floor inside the dome is mainly dairy products and meat, and the second floor is nuts, tea, spices, etc.🫚 Since this is a bazaar used daily by locals, there are no price tags on the products, so it is a bit difficult for tourists to purchase things😆🖐️ Meat dishes are mainstream in Uzbekistan, and it is no wonder that all of them were delicious. The butcher shop had a wide variety of meat, it was not smelly at all, and it was clean and hygienic👀✨ It's a bazaar that is fun to just look around even if you don't shop🫶🏼 Tafakkur ko'chasi 57, Toshkent, Toshkent, Uzbekistan 5:00-20:15 #0 yen trip January 2025 #overseas travel #Uzbekistan

#summertripevent #tashkent #uzbekistan #tashkent Uzbekistan's traditional market, Chorsu Market Eski Juva Bozori, is so big that it takes a long time to look around. There are a lot of groceries and many unfamiliar spices that I've never seen before, so it was amazing.

This is Chorsu Bazaar, the largest bazaar in Tashkent. The venue is quite large and bustling with people. There is a building that looks like the main venue, and many stalls are set up around it. Various items are sold, including food, clothing, and daily necessities. The meat section is impressive, with meat being sold in dynamic condition. More than looking for souvenirs, it was a good place to get a glimpse into the lives of Tashkent residents. #tourism #uzbekistan #tashkent

🇺🇿Uzbekistan, an inland country located in the middle of Central Asia, is one of the ancient countries on the Silk Road. Historically, it has had a long relationship with China through trade. It was also ranked second on the Lonely Planet 2018 Asia's Best Travel Destinations list. It is indeed a niche but excellent destination. In addition, visa-free entry for Chinese tourists began last year, and direct flights from Beijing have also been opened, making it the perfect choice to take a short vacation and travel. ☪️From the Persian Empire to its conquest by Alexander the Great, to the Arabs bringing new beliefs, to Timur the Great ushering in the Renaissance...beneath the mysterious veil of this ancient Central Asian country, there are countless wonders and historical relics everywhere. During your journey, you can start from Tashkent and revisit the three treasure cities on the Silk Road: Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva. 1️⃣Tashkent is the capital of Uzbekistan and one of the important hubs of the Silk Road. Nearly a thousand years of Uzbekistan's history is recorded here. Many museums and art galleries show you the gifts that time has bestowed on civilization. The authentic food and products will also let you experience the urban flavor of Tashkent. Aymtemur Square is the center of Tashkent; the Qomsomolskaya Dome Bazaar may be the most worldly place in Tashkent; the modern side of Tashkent is hidden in the exquisitely carved subway stations. 2️⃣ There are 7,400 cultural heritage sites in Uzbekistan, of which the entire city of Samarkand has been listed as a World Cultural Heritage. Although Samarkand is now an Islamic city as a whole, the Sogdians' memories of the Silk Road are still preserved in the Afrosiab Museum. Many Chinese people go to the Afrosiab Museum specifically to see the murals, because the murals show Wu Zetian riding a dragon boat and Emperor Gaozong of Tang riding a horse to hunt; the Tomb of the Prophet Daniel is a unique place where Muslims, Christians and Jews from all over the world can appear and pray at the same time; the main blue color of the Tomb of Shah Jinda makes this place as beautiful as a bright night sky. 3️⃣ Bukhara is the birthplace of Alibaba’s battle against the forty thieves and the starting point of Afanti’s battle of wits with Master Bayi. It is a place full of romantic mythological stories and also a city that has experienced several ups and downs. The Bukhara Emir's Summer Palace is one of the few remaining Bukhara palaces in the world; the Chiron Minaret greets the first rays of sunlight in Bukhara every day. 4️⃣The ancient city of Khiva was listed as a World Heritage Site in 1990. Within the 10-meter-high, complete and solid adobe brick walls, there are 8 mosques, 31 madrassas, 14 minarets, 12 mausoleums and 6 royal palaces. On the ancient Silk Road, it was the last stop for desert caravans heading to Persia. "I would give a bag of gold just to see Khiva", this old Central Asian proverb fully describes the beauty and prosperity of the ancient city of Khiva.
