Practical tips
For popular routes like Tashkent–Samarkand–Bukhara, Afrosiyob tickets sell out days in advance. Secure your seats online via 12go.asia or BaoLau.vn as soon as your dates are firm to avoid disappointment and being stuck with slower options.
If time is tight, a domestic flight to Urgench (for Khiva) or Nukus can save you an 11-hour train or bus journey from Tashkent. Flights typically cost €55-90 and drastically cut travel time, allowing more exploration.
For shorter distances within regions like the Fergana Valley or for destinations like Chimgan, local buses and shared taxis (marshrutkas) are often the most practical and frequent options. They are budget-friendly and offer a genuine local experience.
Be aware that major cities like Tashkent and Bukhara have multiple train stations. Double-check your ticket for the correct departure point (e.g., Tashkent Central vs. Tashkent Yuzhniy or Bukhara vs. Kogon) to avoid last-minute stress.
While some Fergana Valley cities have train connections, many inter-city hops (like Margilan to Andijan) are best done by bus or shared taxi. Trains are less frequent here, making road transport a more flexible and often faster choice.
