Bukhara rankings

Bukhara’s old city brings its major monuments into a walkable network of lanes, courtyards and covered markets. The Kalon minaret marks the skyline, while Lyabi-Hauz offers a pond-side pause between madrasas and small restaurants. Look beyond the blue tilework to the Samanid Mausoleum’s patterned brick and the painted interiors of former merchant houses. Outside the centre, the emir’s summer palace adds gardens and decorative rooms to a stay shaped by architecture, craft and regional cooking.
