Tashkent, Uzbekistan's capital, is in all respects a Central Asian regional hub. It is the fourth-largest CIS city, with a population of around 3 million. Today, it has all the features of a modern metropolis and capital, with many attractive newly built Central Asian-style structures and sites, as well as Soviet-era buildings. Tashkent is rich in museums, theaters, and concert halls. There are many traditional Central Asian and European-style restaurants and clubs, as well as several very nice parks, including a zoo and a huge botanical garden. Tashkent is the only Central Asian city with an underground railway system, the Tashkent Metro. It is probably one of the most beautiful in the world: its stations are real works of art, each featuring unique designs based on various themes, such as famous people, events, valued notions, terms, or common nouns. Tashkent is a city of wide streets and numerous avenues, abundant in trees. Although it is located in Central Asia, many evergreens have recently been planted here, in addition to traditional planes, poplars, oaks, willows, and others. Tashkent looks modern - it grew to its present size mainly during Soviet times - but it is over 2,000 years old, and part of its old quarter still survives, known as the Old City or Old Town. Tashkent Old City features a huge traditional Central Asian bazaar, as well as several Islamic architectural monuments and quaint adobe mahalla neighborhoods that are well worth visiting for their charm.
