Why go
A largely intact Silk Road trading city, walkable end to end.
Bukhara's old town is more lived-in and less restored than Samarkand, with trading domes still functioning as markets. It rewards two unhurried days.
Signature experiences
- Poi Kalyan complex and minaret
- Lyabi-Hauz plaza in the evening
- Ark fortress and trading domes
