Our last trip to Uzbekistan

If you follow us, you might remember that we visited Uzbekistan last autumn? We were there on the occasion of 25 UNWTO (the 25th session of the General Assembly of the United Nations World Tourism Organisation), during which we also got to see a lot of the beautiful and exciting city. Samarkand. There is of course more to see and experience in Uzbekistan, and now we are travelling there again!

Press trip to Uzbekistan

Since our trip to Samarkand, we have maintained contact with the Uzbekistan Embassy in Stockholm. Uzbekistan's official tourism organisation was keen to arrange a press trip to Uzbekistan with Nordic travel writers and we were asked to put this group together. We have been working on gathering the group and preparing the trip, together with the embassy, since last autumn. And now it's almost time!

Nordic journalists and travel bloggers to Uzbekistan

We will be a group of 11 writers making this journey. The group consists of journalists and bloggers from Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland. We will be travelling around the country with guides. In addition, some will make their own excursions, in addition to the joint programme.

Uzbekistan - an exciting tourist destination

Uzbekistan is a fascinating country with much to offer visitors, in terms of history, architecture, cuisine, dance, crafts, nature, Unesco World Heritage sites and much more. It is home to the famous city of Samarkand, which has a fairy-tale feel to it and was once the site of the famous Silk Road. Other places of interest include the capital city of Tashkent and the historically exciting city of Bukhara.

Uzbekistan has a strong focus on tourism and has ensured that the country is visa-free for many of the world's nationalities. Citizens of the Nordic countries are free to visit the country for up to 30 days without a visa.
