The middle of the day goes to the museum and Tashkent City Park, the end of the day to the old town, where Chorsu and Hazrati Imam are close together. Remove any stop with the cross or drag it with ≡, and add another one nearby — the times recalculate. ## The metro as a museum Tashkent's metro was the first in Central Asia, opened in 1977: 50 stations on four lines. A ride costs 2,500 sum by card or 3,000 in cash, and the metro runs roughly from 5:00 to midnight. Riding a few stops between the most decorated stations is the cheapest sightseeing in town. ## Where to have lunch Lunch in the plan comes after the Museum of Applied Arts. For plov go to the [Besh Qozon plov centre](https://yesgo.io/uzbekistan/tashkent/tashkent-plov-centre): plov from 50,000 sum, best between 11:00 and 14:00. ## Is one day in Tashkent enough? For the city sights, yes. With a second day go to [Chimgan](https://yesgo.io/uzbekistan/tashkent/chimgan), the mountains a couple of hours away — that is the 2-day itinerary. The [State Museum of Arts](https://yesgo.io/uzbekistan/tashkent/tashkent-art-museum) is currently closed for reconstruction. ## Tips - For mosques and mausoleums cover shoulders and knees; women need a headscarf. - At Chorsu people haggle and pay cash. - The Romanov palace is under restoration — no entry. - Uzbekistan uses the sum (UZS). Cards work in the cities, but bazaars, taxis and small ticket desks prefer cash. Many monument prices are unofficial — check at the desk. - The Navoi Theatre is closed on Mondays. ## Questions ### Is one day in Tashkent enough?
