Tashkent is the most populous city in Central Asia and the capital of Uzbekistan. It was largely rebuilt after the 1966 earthquake, so the centre runs on wide boulevards and Soviet-era buildings, while the metro stations, each designed separately with mosaics and chandeliers, are among the most photographed places in the city. Fast trains link it to Samarkand and Bukhara, which makes it the natural start of a Silk Road route. Turkish Airlines and AJet fly direct from Istanbul and Ankara, and the flight from Istanbul takes about 5 hours 15 minutes. Turkish citizens can enter Uzbekistan without a visa.
