Travel Smart travels along the fabled Silk Road, taking a look at the sights and wonders to be seen in Uzbekistan.

The most visited of the central Asian republics, Uzbekistan is easy to traverse yet you’re unlikely to be hit by the throngs of other tourists also checking out the country. It’s a country that blends recent seismic world history with its Islamic medieval background while keeping an ambitious eye on the future and ultra-modernity.

Annabel Grossman gives you a guide of Tashkent, while Ben Parker takes a look at Registan and Bukhara.
