Uzbekistan is the country with open arms that always welcomes its guests with smile and warm spirit. In this section guests of our sunny soil will have an opportunity to virtually trip along historical and wonderful cities of Uzbekistan.
Tashkent's citizens are justifiably proud of their metro, Central Asia's first and bursting with decorative intent. Construction began in 1972 and five years later the first train rolled. Extensive rubber padding makes the system, around 40 kilometres and growing, as earthquake-proof as possible. Besides being the most convenient way to traverse the city, and a cool escape from melting avenues, its stations cry out to be appreciated, although photography is forbidden (it invites police hassle too, enjoy http://eng.metropoliten.uz/stations.php3 instead), and stiffing Soviet-era reliefs have fled several stops. Cotton is a common motif, from the mosaics of Pakhtakor (cotton worker) to the boll lamps of Uzbekistan; cupolas drip with gold leaf at Alisher Navoi, while Kosmonavtlar offers ceramic discs of cosmonauts floating in a spectral sea.
