A large greenspace where you could do some serious walking around (although you might freeze in the winter). Looking at it from a satellite image will have your mind spinning with all the geometric figures in place via the various walkways throughout the park.
Another park with some monuments, fountains, and rides such as a Ferris wheel.
The regional history museum has limited English signage but makes for an interesting couple of hours.
Look for the smoke rising from the charcoal around 50 m away from the covered market area. A meal of shashlik, tea, salad and bread for two should be around 15,000 som.
A very popular restaurant with professional wait staff. Gets busy in the evenings, so book ahead, especially on weekends. The annexed bakery has the best cakes in town.
A great Korean restaurant! Although Yaponamama might have better rolls, Kitchen has great authentic Korean dishes, and importantly, they serve beer.
Part of a cafe chain from Tashkent. They have tasty coffee and ample seating.
Small coffee shop serving coffee and cake. Around 8000 som for a coffee.

Very clean and comfortable. Single rooms starting from US$40. Breakfast included. swimming pool is available.

Not a hotel but rather an AirBnB, this place in the city center is a comfortable and price competitive option with very easygoing hosts. For couples or groups of travelers it's probably cheaper to stay here than in a hotel. And the location is unbeatable. 376,000 so'm.
