Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Religious group
Poi Kalyan Complex
Poi Kalyan combines a great minaret, mosque and madrasa. Viewing the ensemble does not guarantee entry to every building.
Citadelle
Ark Citadel
The Ark preserves the former fortified assembly of the power of Bukhara. Follow the open museum routes and distinguish remains and reconstructed parts.
Historical square
Lyabi-Hauz Complex
Liab-i-Haouz organizes historic buildings around a pond. Respect the uses of the square and check separately the internal visits.
Mausoleum
Samanid Mausoleum
The Samanid Mausoleum is distinguished by its patterned brickwork. Observe the details without touching the historic surfaces.
