Andijan is a city in the Ferghana Valley, Uzbekistan.
From the travel guide. Select a place for details, a map and what is nearby.
A nice sizeable park located on hills overlooking Andijan and dedicated to the city's most famous son Bobur; it has amusement park rides, a cable car, hiking trails, restaurants, and plazas where outdoor dancing often takes place. A very nice way to take in a view without going to the trouble of heading to further Xonobod. The area also hosts a mosque and a museum.
The Devanoboy Friday (Juma) mosque is the largest mosque in Andijan, and following renovations completed in the spring of 2021 is also one of the most beautiful sites to visit in Andijan.
Archeology, ethnography, a section on Babur. Near the museum is the “Registan" square of Andijan, a complex of several traditional buildings with a minaret placed in the center. One of the buildings houses a small photo gallery.
Navoi Square
The remains of an old Russian fortress built during the Tsarist period. It hosts a small museum and when on site a local caretaker who can explain a bit about the history of the site (in Russian.).
A small amusement park with a Ferris wheel and other attractions and rides.
This unique traditional building was constructed as a hotel by Andijan native Ahmadbek xoji after 1903. It has traditional Central Asian architecture together with some foreign influence, and at one point in the 2000s hosted a handcrafter's gallery. Now the building is unfortunately in a state of disrepair, and the gallery is apparently abandoned. Nonetheless, it's worth visiting for the beautiful artwork adorning the walls and calm atmosphere. You can read more about it here in Russian.
Without question the “fanciest” (and most expensive) restaurant in Andijan, serving consistently good food from a diverse menu. Located near City Hall and the O'zbegim trade center in eski shahar. On some evenings they have a violinist playing for the audience. The downstairs section, “Melody,” serves alcohol.
A humble but excellent Uyghur restaurant in the 2nd microdistrict serving great laghman and other dishes that can be hard to find elsewhere. Tuxum Say recommended.
One of the best restaurants in Andijan. It serves very authentic Turkish food (as attested to by the Turkish expat clientele) and has great desserts too. They have a second location in the O’zbegim mall which has live music on weekends.
A newly opened “fancy” restaurant in the 3rd microdistrict with a wide menu which often hosts events and concerts (these require reservations.) The interior is very aesthetically designed and the food is high quality, but the atmosphere doesn’t necessarily feels a bit too family-oriented to justify the high price.
The best steakhouse in Andijan, located in the 4th microdistrict. If you are interested in eating meat that is not Uzbek national food, this is the place to go. They have opened a branch in the new Navruz mall.
Another Ugyhur restaurant serving what is probably the best laghman in all of Andijan. Located near the "soy" (water channel) on the northern side of town.
A nice Turkish restaurant located in O’zbegim mall associated with the "Abu Dhabi" chain. They often have a guitarist playing music in the background.
A newly opened Korean restaurant in the third microdistrict that serves excellent kuksi soup and other Korean fare. Alcohol is served as well.
A great restaurant which serves coffee and has pleasant outdoor seating when the weather gets warm enough.
A nice coffee shop in the second microdistrict opened by a pair of locals who spent time living abroad honing their barista skills. The place has no food menu, but instead a wide variety of coffee options and a rotating dessert menu.
A small coffee truck, sometimes moves location to inside the nearby Eco Park.
