A great place to shop at, the quality of products is great, the prices are reasonable and affordable, of course you can find almost anything you need. Please remember to keep Tashkent clean.
"You can find everything here: cheap prices, crowds of people, ancient Eastern-style buildings, and a chaotic mix of shops. It's a little like a treasure hunt—if you’re not careful, you might get lost and end up in a parallel universe!"
Good and comfy, must have place to visit in Tashkent. The location is convenient and prices are really reasonable. Here you can meet the most cheerful people in the entire world!
I personally recommend this place! If you like to take a walk, explore the world, and see the culture of Asia, feel free to go to Chorsu! It's very high-calorie and original, I probably remember this place the most from Uzbekistan! This is the largest market that I have seen, not only is there a lot of things in the building itself, but the entire surrounding area is also a market!
but! Do not rush to buy goods. Tourists are seen from afar, and prices are bent for them. Let's say that tourists are offered 150,000 soums per KG, although the normal price is 30,000 - 100,000 soums per kilo, bargain boldly. If the seller does not go to the auction, leave, you will find the same product a little further away, spices, teas, etc. everywhere + are the same, they can generally be taken there at a minimum, if you want unique spices, I think you should buy homemade ones elsewhere, it is clear that spices are transported from one place, from the factory some kind of
General impressions: feel free to visit, it's safe there in principle, and some people are trying to sell you, but just ignore it and move on if you're not interested. As it is, you can find a lot of interesting things there.
Ohhh! This is an Oriental fairy tale!
The complex is about 2000 years old! He's super!!!
And buy and walk! Everything is there!
To walk, to buy, to eat!
There are "gluttonous rows" There That are sooo delicious!
There is a place to buy dried fruits at a good price and souvenirs. There is a place to buy clothes in the national style. We need to bargain! First, the price is halved, then we increase it a little)
This is the norm for Uzbekistan) Bargaining is appropriate! But only on the market!
Chorsu Market is the real heart of Tashkent and the living history of the city. The atmosphere here is unique: the aromas of spices, fresh fruits, oriental pastries, noisy vendors and friendly people. The dome of the main building with its blue mosaic is already a landmark in itself. Here you can find everything from local delicacies to national souvenirs and handmade textiles. It is especially pleasant that sellers are open to communication, sometimes they treat you with samples and are always ready to bargain. This is not just a market, but a real cultural experience for all guests of Tashkent. I recommend you to definitely visit!
Chorsu Bazaar is not just a market, it is the real soul of Tashkent! Here you can plunge into the atmosphere of oriental flavor, feel like a part of the centuries-old history of this amazing city. I was amazed by the variety of products: fresh fruits and vegetables, aromatic spices, national sweets, handmade products — the eyes run away from abundance.
I especially liked the sellers — they are friendly and sociable, they are happy to talk about their products and even treat you to try it. Haggling here is not only possible, but also necessary — it is part of the local culture.
Chorsu is a place where you can not only buy the necessary products, but also just take a walk, enjoy the atmosphere, and take beautiful photos. This is a must-visit place if you want to feel the real Tashkent.
The National Bazaar is a place full of charm! I really liked its atmosphere, especially the variety of products. However, I would like to point out one thing: the cost of parking here seems somewhat overpriced compared to other places, especially considering that this is the first parking lot after the Kukaldosh mosque.
Separately, I would like to express my admiration for the politeness of one saleswoman, Suzan (if I'm not mistaken, in glasses and age). Her professionalism and kindness created a wonderful impression. Overall, the bazaar made a very pleasant impression on me, and I will definitely come back here again!

The original place of Tashkent. A real Uzbek bazaar with all the flavor, I bought fruits, dried fruits, nuts, halva. Quality, bargaining, everything is fine. I recommend you to visit. Of the "features" there are many beggars, and obsessive ones, and what is unfortunate are small children. I've been to a lot of places, I haven't seen this for a very long time
Chor su is a legendary and well-known location. Everyone who considers themselves a resident of the capital, as well as guests of the city, visited this historical place. Here, history fits perfectly with modernity. In short, hang out, come, drop in or fly in - you don't want to
This is our national pride. Historical area. All the guests who come to Tashkent visit it first. And the market is very good, you can buy almost any necessary goods and household products.
I really liked it. The market has everything you could want. The abundance of goods conveys all the subtlety and flavor of the East. The products are fresh and natural. Everything can be tasted before purchase
This is a very rich place for all kinds of goods. I bought a bunch of cashmere capes, the quality and price are fabulous.
There's also a place with pastries, and now the big love in my heart is occupied by these squares with green onions, it's sooooo delicious, I took it from my grandmother closer to the exit.
I recommend it to all tourists. But when calling a taxi, specify the main entrance. National flavor: cuisine, goods, sellers.
Very tasty pilaf (I liked it more than in the pilaf Center), Kebabs too. Have breakfast only there.
I bought a house suit made of natural silk. I am very pleased.
The story is with a capital letter, the place is crowded and the very peculiar approach of architecture is tourist, the historical bazaar is in the most crowded place and is multifaceted 5+
There is a good bazaar, reasonable prices, everything you need is available, and you can have lunch, there is a variety of national dishes, there are no problems with parking.
Well, you can find anything you want. I personally go here for children's things. In the former Children's World building, you can find great discounts all year round. When there is 1 size left, they take it out for a discount.
I was at the clothing market today.A very wide selection of handmade goods and products.I really liked the market and the place where it is located.I advise everyone to visit it.
If you were in Tashkent and did not visit the market, then you have deprived yourself of the most colorful trip! This is a huge market with national clothes, painted plates, the aroma of spices, delicious samsa, pilaf, and fruits. I recommend everyone to immerse themselves in this oriental tale.
Chorsu market is a greeting from the 90s on the one hand and a very atmospheric place with oriental characteristics on the other. The Uzbek bazaar in all its glory. I highly recommend visiting it as one of the most spectacular sights of Tashkent.
How can it be without such a colorful and central place! A must-visit if you want to see and experience the local flavor. You won't leave without shopping for sure! Well, gluttony is something you should try if you want to know the real local cuisine!
If I happen to visit Tashkent again, I will definitely come to the market again.
The usual market. For travelers, don't expect wild exoticism.
Ordinary consumer goods. Uzbek souvenirs from China.
The gluttony rows are cool. We don't cook such dishes in central Kazakhstan.

It's a very atmospheric and colorful place. If you want to experience the charm of the oriental bazaar, then you are here! A large selection of oriental sweets and spices, herbs, vegetables and fruits. Be sure to bargain, because this is the whole tsimus of the bazaar! Very friendly sellers. Special attention should be paid to the place in the bazaar where they cook outdoors - everything is very tasty and not expensive.
A large selection of national clothes and jewelry.
Lots of fresh flowers for planting, national items, national dishes. If you need wooden products, you can find them there. Lots of shapes and everything that pastry chefs need
I advise you to visit this market before departure to buy spices, vegetables and fruits. There is a very nice clothing market with national clothes and bathrobes.
