Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Archaeological site
Ancient Panjakent
The remains of the ancient Punjakent make it possible to read a Sogden city. Paintings and objects from the excavations can be preserved in other museums.
Archaeological site
Sarazm
Sarazm retains traces of an ancient proto-urban habitat in the Zeravchan Valley. Stay on the protection routes and do not collect anything.
Urban panorama
Panorama of Punjakent
View of the present city from the outskirts of the old site. This panorama distinguishes the living urban fabric from the sogdian remains; it does not represent a precise market.
