The Republic of Uzbekistan is a landlocked country in Central Asia that is bordered by Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and other countries. Uzbekistan is not linked to any sea and therefore has cold desert climates and semi-arid climates. Temperatures vary greatly between summer (very warm) and winter (very cold). Therefore, spring and autumn are the best months to travel to Uzbekistan. The country offers travellers historical monuments from the era of emirs and early Islam to gaze at as well as beautiful towns along the historic Silk Road: Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva are definite must-sees. The capital Tashkent is characterised by imposing Soviet architecture. Regardless of your travel plans for Uzbekistan, please take into account the risk of (tropical) diseases and mosquito bites. Malaria is prevalent in Uzbekistan.
