How Much Does a Trip to Uzbekistan Cost?

A genuinely affordable destination

Compared with most of Asia and Europe, Uzbekistan is excellent value. Food, local transport and entry tickets are inexpensive, and even boutique heritage hotels cost a fraction of European equivalents. Your two biggest line items are international flights and the standard of hotel you choose.

What a week typically includes

A well-run private week covers your hotels, daily breakfast, the Afrosiyob train tickets, a private car and driver, licensed local guides in each city and all monument entries. Bundling these into one tour usually costs less than arranging them separately — and removes every booking headache.

Where you can spend more or less

The biggest lever is hotels: simple, clean three-star guesthouses keep costs low, while restored caravanserais and five-star properties raise the comfort and the price. Private touring costs more than joining a group but gives you full control of the pace. Tell us your budget and we will build the week to fit it.

Tipping, money and extras

Carry some cash in local som for bazaars, tips and small cafes; cards work in city hotels and larger restaurants. Budget a little for souvenirs — Bukhara’s suzani textiles and Rishtan ceramics are hard to resist — and for the occasional special dinner. Beyond that, day-to-day spending in Uzbekistan is refreshingly light.
