The most iconic marketplace in, Tashkent, is Chorsu Bazaar, with its turquoise-domed architecture. Hundreds of vendors sell almost everything for consumers.
Alay and Mirabadskiy, also in Tashkent, are more quiet but still very popular among locals.

And we finish with the bazaars of Bukhara, which are still markets for jewellers and traditional headwear.
