It is best to come early in the morning or late in the afternoon, as that is when the shadows are longest and there are fewer tourists. Spring and fall offer the most pleasant temperatures among the walls.
Budgettips
The entrance fee is around 40,000 sum (about 3-4 euros). Students and seniors receive a discount, so it is worth inquiring at the information desk.

Over
Korte feiten: De muren van de 3 hectare grote vesting reiken tot 20 meter hoog. De vorstelijke residentie herbergde honderden kamers, van de schatkamer tot de martelkamer.
Hoogtepunten: Onder de enorme hellingbaan naar de ingang rammelden ooit de kettingen van gevangenen, die onder de hoeven van de langs schrijdende paarden werden geworpen. Het plafond van de troonzaal was bedekt met gouden platen en de tapijten kwamen uit alle hoeken van het rijk.
Insidertips
- From the top of the entrance ramp, a wonderful panorama of the city opens up, making it a great spot for photos at sunset.
- The 19th-century British cannonballs displayed in the museum are relics of the 1920 Russian siege.
- Many people skip the old torture chamber, but the dark, narrow rooms offer a fascinating glimpse into the justice system of the era.
- Bring water and a hat with you, as there is no shade in the square and the hot Uzbek summer can be relentless.
