How safe is Uzbekistan?

Tashkent

I can tell Tashkent is a safe place to walk alone and live, but due to newcomers from regions, they might slightly bother you with curious stares and maybe crude words. Guys in uniforms are in almost every public places and locals are quite friendly.Honestly, I'd rate 8,5/10 because no place is totally safe for women, just keep cautious so you won't be caught off guard.💁🏻‍♀️

Tashkent

Tashkent is such a place where people leave their homes unlocked when they go to the store. There are special security services everywhere, and they are called the National Security Service. People often go out for walks in the evening. Women's safety is guaranteed.

Uzbekistan

Samarkand is a super safe city, everyone is friendly and warm. People always offer to help and give information. Public transport is not advanced so it’s a bit complicated to use but taxis are completely safe

Tashkent, Group travel

It was my first ever trip to abroad with my female friends, and I can say that it was amazing, successful trip. We felt safe during the travelling, Uzbek people were so nice to us, they were kind, helpful, lovely doesn’t matter of the gender. As far as I was the 4th year university student , my budget was only 100$, and in Uzbekistan you can feel yourself as millionaire with that amount of money😅 we travelled from Almaty to Tashkent during the Nauryz holidays. We started from the most famous restaurant- BesQozan, tried the legendary plov, somsa) we saw lovely park nearby there. People were so nice, they didn’t speak in English or Russian , cause I think they appreciated their own languages, culture. We’ve been there for 3 days , and it was unforgettable. Off course it wasn’t enough for us to deeply explore the city, we wanted also go to other historical cities like : Samarkand . But I can confidently say that I’d recommend this city - Tashkent to everyone, in group, solo, it’s really worth it😌

It was a big surprise for me, I new that it will be an interesting country, but I didn't expect that it will be a such good experience. The country I safe, so traveling alone and even walking in the evening was not a problem at all. And there are so many things to explore that you can consider to make a long vacation.
