If you have some free time, I really recommend visiting Tashkent TV tower. Well, at least those who want to see the city from above. As elsewhere in Uzbekistan, the entry price is higher for foreigners than for the local population. They have very strict inspection, you have to leave all your things in the locker. Afterwards there was still a search in a separate room. Like at the airport.
Inside there are models of other television towers. If you take the elevator, you can see the city from a height. But here you may be disappointed - most of the city visible from there is low-cost residences. A park across the road from the tower, a water park and a botanical garden are also clearly visible.
The tower shines beautifully with lights. On the sixth floor there is an observation deck. Here you can see a circular panorama of Tashkent. It's not very high, and not scary. On the seventh floor, there is a restaurant that is constantly turning, so it's breathtaking. I suggest you at least have a tea there, and that’s interesting.
