Practical tips
Always book your Afrosiyob tickets days in advance, especially for popular routes like Tashkent–Samarkand–Bukhara. Seats sell out quickly, and booking online via official sites or trusted platforms like 12go.asia prevents being stuck with slower, less convenient options.
For destinations in the far west like Khiva (via Urgench) or Nukus, domestic flights are often a smart investment. An 11-hour train or bus journey can be avoided for a relatively cheap 1-hour flight (around €55-90), saving you a full day of travel time.
Tashkent and Bukhara have multiple train stations. Always confirm whether your ticket is for Tashkent Central, Tashkent Yuzhny (South), Bukhara 1, or Kogon. Double-checking avoids turning up at the wrong station and missing your connection.
Some regions, like parts of the Fergana Valley (e.g., between Kokand, Margilan, Andijan) or the mountain resort of Chimgan, are primarily accessed by marshrutkas (shared taxis) or local buses, not trains. Factor these local connections into your planning.
Booking trains, buses, and transfers online with instant confirmation saves significant hassle. Use reliable platforms to secure your tickets in advance, especially for popular routes and during peak travel times, ensuring peace of mind.
