We got a very cheap flight (around 500 Euros) to Tashkent, via London and Moscow. Because we were arriving late, we booked rooms in advance at Poytaht Hotel that turned out to be a fair place to stay a couple of nights. We did not reserve or organize anything else. We did not find any difficulty in getting around or finding accommodation. There is a cute train running between the main cities and there are many nice and affordable hotels. Everybody tries to help; even if they only speak Uzbek and/or Russian (only young people speak a few words of English). But there is no problem at all: it is amazing how we could have long talks and the information could be effectively exchanged without saying a single word! And everybody wants to talk and to help. Last, but not the least, it is a very peaceful and safe place for travellers. Unfortunately, the situation for locals is different and non-governmental human rights watchdogs have repeatedly expressed concern about wide-scale violation of basic human rights.
