Chorsu Bazaar, the most renowned farmers' market in Tashkent, is covered by a massive dome and is located on the southern edge of the old town. From here, one can see how urban life has spread throughout Tashkent's streets. If the ideal market is vibrant and filled with delicious food, then this is it!
In this place, large piles of spices form brightly colored mounds, sacks of grain are as big as Volkswagen Beetles, small sheds are filled with candies, dairy products, and bread, and seemingly endless rows of meat hang with freshly slaughtered livestock. Of course, there are also pomegranates, melons, persimmons, giant mutant tomatoes, and various seasonal fruits. Those looking for souvenirs can find colorful cushions (kurpacha), skullcaps, traditional robes (chapan), and knives here. Additionally, the market offers a variety of hand-woven rugs, intricately designed ceramics, and handcrafted musical instruments that showcase the rich cultural heritage of the region. The vibrant atmosphere, diverse goods, and unique cultural elements make Chorsu Bazaar a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists.
