Uzbekistan is a landlocked country in Central Asia. Tashkent, Uzbek and Russian, and the Uzbekistani som provide a few first reference points for planning.

Uzbekistan is in Central Asia and has no coastline. To start getting your bearings for a trip, keep three things in mind: Tashkent, the capital; Uzbek and Russian, the recorded languages; and the Uzbekistani som, the currency.
Tashkent as a point of reference
Tashkent is the country’s capital and a city in Uzbekistan. It can serve as a starting point when planning your travel map, but the information available here is not enough to describe its neighborhoods, attractions or current connections. Check up-to-date sources for routes and services before deciding how to get around.
Languages and currency
The recorded languages are Uzbek and Russian; the currency is the Uzbekistani som (UZS). These details can help you prepare questions and recognize the local currency, but they do not indicate which language is used in each situation or provide current exchange rates. Check the conversion rate and payment options before you travel.
Check current transport information
Available records identify an airport in Tashkent, but one warns that its data may be out of date and does not confirm current flights or services. Do not treat this reference as proof that a route is operating: check flights and connections against current sources before finalizing your itinerary.
A first snapshot of the country
Uzbekistan is in Asia and Central Asia. For an initial orientation, it is enough to combine this location with its status as a landlocked country and Tashkent’s role as the capital. The available material does not provide enough information to recommend other destinations, seasons or routes within the country.
Before finalizing your plans
Check flights, overland connections, exchange rates and payment options separately. These details can change and are not established by the available geographical and national references. Checking them helps avoid turning basic information about the country into a promise about specific services.
