Uzbekistan tops the rating of most amazing tourist destinations in 2019
The British publication The Telegraph included Uzbekistan in the TOP-10 most beautiful and amazing tourist destinations in 2019.
“From this week citizens of 45 countries – including Britain – are permitted visa-free travel to Uzbekistan, as the country tries to woo foreign tourists,” the newspaper notes.
According to the publication there are many compelling reasons to visit Uzbekistan, whose glorious cities provided a welcome respite for travelers on the Silk Road.
“Those same cities – Khiva, Bukhara and Samarkand – have been painstakingly restored and once again bedazzle with their magnificent minarets, shimmering domes and hypnotic mosaics. The dusty bazaars, hospitable locals and spectacular mountain scenery add to the country’s considerable appeal,” The Telegraph writes.
It should be noted that, along with Uzbekistan, Eritrea (a state in East Africa), the city of Pittsburgh (USA), Georgia and the city of Plovdiv (Bulgaria) are included in the TOP-5 of the ranking.
