Travel Planning: How to Optimally Design Your Uzbekistan Experience!
The optimal planning of your Uzbekistan adventure tour is crucial for an unforgettable travel experience. Here are some tips and recommendations to help you prepare.
Best Time to Travel
The best time to visit Uzbekistan is in the spring (April-June) and autumn (September-October), when temperatures are pleasant. It can get very hot in the summer, and winter can be cold. Djoser Travels also recommend these times due to the continental climate with significant temperature fluctuations.
Visa Requirements and Entry
To enter Uzbekistan, you need a passport that is valid for at least six months beyond your return date. Make sure to inform yourself in good time about the current visa requirements and registration obligations.
Currency and Finances
The local currency is the So'm (UZS). It is advisable to exchange euros or US dollars in Uzbekistan, as exchanging back can be difficult. Credit cards are accepted in larger hotels and cities, but not EC cards. Information from trendtours indicates that exchanging euros for So'm within Uzbekistan is advisable, as exchanging back is not possible, and the currency cannot be exported.
