Chorsu Bazaar
Bästa tid att besöka
Go between 7:00 and 9:00 AM when vendors just unpack their goods and the freshly baked non bread is still warm from the tandoor. Summer mornings are cooler and less crowded than afternoons.
Budgettips
Entry is free with no ticket needed. Bring small denominations of Uzbek som (under 10,000 notes), as many vendors cannot break large bills, and expect to bargain prices down by 30 to 50 percent.

Om
Snabba fakta: Den turkosa kupolen sträcker sig 42 meter tvärs över och täcker nästan 4 000 kvadratmeter marknadsyta. Handlare har handlat med kryddor, silke och kött på denna plats i över tusen år; sovjeterna uppförde den nuvarande strukturen 1980.
Höjdpunkter: Kupolens 80 000 turkosa kakelplattor skiftar färg under dagen från blek himmelsblå till djup teal beroende på solen. Gå nerför rampen till den underjordiska ringen där temperaturen sjunker 10 grader Celsius och dussintals slaktare arbetar genom att hänga hela djurkroppar på krokar under blå lysrörslampor.
Insidertips
- Arrive by 7:00 AM to watch bakers pull non bread from wood-fired tandoors using long iron hooks.
- Bring cash in small bills, most vendors do not accept cards and will not have change for large notes.
- Photograph the dome from the surrounding apartment rooftops for a wide-angle shot that captures the full scale.
- Skip the pre-packaged souvenir stalls near the entrance and walk deeper into the rings where locals shop for better prices.
