Samarkand is the heavy hitter of the Silk Road, and thanks to the high-speed Afrosiyob train, it’s a perfectly feasible day trip from the capital. In just over two hours, you can trade Tashkent’s wide Soviet-era avenues for the towering blue-tiled domes of Registan Square, including Ulugbek Madrasah. While the monuments are concentrated, the history is dense; a guided tour is a lifesaver for navigating the massive Shah-i-Zinda Necropolis and the Bibi-Khanym Mosque without missing the subtle stories behind the mosaics. A prearranged driver also ensures you can squeeze in a visit to the local bazaar before catching the evening train back.
