Chorsu Bazaar
No visit to Uzbekistan would be complete without a visit to the
Chorsu Bazaar. In fact, travellers to the central Asian nation are
urged to pack as lightly as possible - since they will almost
certainly be returning home with twice as many clothes as they
arrived with! Silk dresses, Italian leather jackets, hand-stitched
cotton shirts - you name it, the Chorsu Bazaar has it, and at
outrageously low prices, to boot. Souvenir-hunters should look out
for decorative ceramics (an Uzbek speciality), while the array of
fresh fruit, vegetables and spices is guaranteed to make your mouth
water. The Chorsu Bazaar is, as yet, unspoiled by mass tourism - it
is an 'authentic' market, full of Uzbeks doing their daily
shopping, and visiting it is as much a rich and rewarding cultural
experience, as it is a shopping expedition par excellence.
Information & Facts
Address
Language
Uzbek is the official state language, but Russian is used
in much day-to-day official and international
communication.
Money
The official currency is the Sum (UZS), which is divided into
100 tiyins. Foreign currencies (US dollars, Euros) can readily be
exchanged at banks, exchange offices, hotels and shops in the
cities, but many hotels and transport providers will require
payment in hard currency, like US dollars. Credit cards are
accepted in major hotels located in the tourist centres. Travellers
cheques have limited acceptance.
