Travelling to Uzbekistan?

Everything you need for Uzbekistan, sorted before you land: data, visa, insurance and lounges.

TRIP FILE DATA

Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva: three Silk Road cities in a row, with tiled domes the colour of a swimming pool. Uzbekistan has a fast train linking them and is one of the few places where the great monuments still come without a queue.

Travel notes for Uzbekistan

UZ / FIELD NOTES

OVERVIEW

The lay of the land

There’s no coast here. Uzbekistan is wedged between its neighbours and everything in and out goes by land or air: the train and the road are the trip, not the transfer.

STAYING CONNECTED

Data the moment you land

The first place being connected pays off is passport control, when they ask for your hotel address and it’s sitting in your email. Plans run from 1 GB to 20 GB, valid up to 30 days, with unlimited day passes for longer stays. An Ozu eSIM installs before you fly and wakes up when you touch down.

WHEN TO GO

Timing your trip

In Uzbekistan the calendar works the European way: July and August are the expensive, crowded part. November and February the cheap, cold one. The months in between are where the trick is.

MONEY

Paying your way

Big notes are a daily nuisance in a lot of places: the taxi has no change, the stall has no change, nobody has change. Break them in supermarkets and hotels, and keep the small stuff for everyone else.

ENTRY

Documents & cover

Check whether your destination wants an electronic authorisation before boarding: these are done online and can take days to come back. And always confirm with the country’s own official source, because these rules change without notice and guides go stale.

LANGUAGE

Getting understood

When you share no language at all, writing beats talking: type it, show the screen, let them type back. Speaking louder and slower has never worked for anybody.
