Uzbekiztan is such a wonderful place to visit!!! I had a great stay, met good people and got to experience my first ever dream snow. The food was also a must try. Will definitely go back to Uzbekiztan.

I went solo traveling to Uzbekistan in May 2021. I've visited Muynak, Khiva, Bukhara, Samarkand and Tashkent. fisrt stop was Muynak, it was music festival over there, I've stayed at the hostel and met a group of people there. after the festival they wanted to hitchhike through the big cities, so I joined them. we stayed at hostels and at friends' houses. so, living costs were very low and affordable. conditions in the hostels were great too! we've cooked our own food we ate the small local...

As a local resident, I can say that men are the biggest problem. I won't say that they attack everyone around them, but like everywhere, their looks make you feel very uncomfortable, they can shout something after you, whistle, They might even allow themselves to talk to you when drunk. If that's not a problem for you, there aren't any big incidents like shootings here, everything is more calm, but again, the big problem is men.

Safety level is great both at night and during the day. Local people are very hospitable and polite. You might encounter local gypsies and beggars, but if you ignore them you will be just fine. If you want to explore places far from the city center, get dressed like locals )

Generally, Uzbekistan is very safe country. Street robbery is very rare (happened only twice for whole my life). Women can travel across the cities. Some men can be jerks by catcalling, annoyingly offering their services or products.

There are a lot of national guard personnel around, I feel safe, the markets are cheap, you can find anything, there are few thieves, just don't leave your wallets and bags anywhere, be careful, you can't use cards everywhere, so keep your money in a safe place.
