It's an interesting place, but you still have to understand that this is a complete makeover. In places, you can observe the remains of the former wall, which say little about the former greatness of this fortress. And in the citadel itself, only earthen hills remained of the buildings. Still, the building material at that time was simply nothing !! In a short time, the fortress simply crumbled....
The Ark Citadel impresses with its grandeur and history. Walking under its arches, I felt the spirit of the past, which harmoniously combines with modern design. Spacious halls and high ceilings create a feeling of freedom. This place is really special, and I'm glad I visited it.
The territory itself is not large, but the tour is very interesting. The architecture is impressive. There is a view of the city from the observation deck.
The entrance ticket is 40,000 soums per person as everywhere else and the tour is the same. (June 2024).
Beautiful view from the observation deck. Inside, museums are not very interesting , like in a school corner with scarecrows . The citadel itself is interesting
The main attraction of Bukhara. It would be strange not to visit here. The entrance for foreigners is 40 thousand, which is 307 rubles today. There are several small museums on the territory, the entrance to which is already free. There is already nature, history and coins of Bukhara. Considering that the city is more than 2.5 thousand years old, it is necessary to visit the most authentic place. There is a souvenir sale, toilets. And, by the way, very interesting installations that give an idea of what this or that ruin used to look like. By the way, in the evening, in the rays of the setting sun, there is a beautiful view of Bukhara today.
The Ark Citadel is the winter palace of the imam. It was a whole city for the ruler. Part of it was destroyed, leaving only ruins and tablets that used to be here. In all rooms there are different expositions about the life and lifestyle of the ruler and the people. It is interesting to see if you can do it yourself with a guide.
A very beautiful historical place!! We were in the evening , we didn 't take photos inside , but the photos from the fortress turned out to be excellent for the water tower
Of course, the place is impressive. but!!! People make the place, and the impression that the local guide Zhenya made, sooooo enhanced the grandeur of this structure! We've been to many places and in many countries, but as he said, it's something with something! A person lives by this place and in general by history, local customs, the history of religion... 45 minutes of a standard tour turned into more than an hour of live conversation! Thank you so much, Zhenya, for the amazing story about this place specifically, and about Uzbekistan, religion! THANKS
An incredible place! The beauty is extraordinary. The scale is amazing. It was built before our era. From the height there is a magnificent view of the city. Entrance is paid, inexpensive. A must-visit when traveling to Bukhara!
The most uninteresting place during a walk around Bukhara.
Admission 40,000 soums (~307 rubles) for foreign tourists)
For local 10,000
There are not large museums on the territory and, of course, a huge number of souvenirs.
The building is colossal. The entrance ticket includes all the museums inside. The exposure is quite small, but so as not to overwork normally. Souvenirs. Toilet. There are ruins of buildings in the center, most of them are unidentified, it is unclear. Unfortunately, the mosque is not working, it would be beautiful.
The impressive architectural monument, like many in Samarkand, carries a real, long-standing history. I definitely recommend the place to visit, there is a place to walk, something to listen to, and it's nice to take pictures
Majestic and monumental! The excavation area is particularly interesting... After visiting the citadel, I advise you to climb the Shukhov Tower, from there you can enjoy a magnificent view of Bukhara and the citadel. Well, and accordingly make gorgeous photos
I visited the Ark Fortress in Bukhara in April 2024! The beauty and power of the fortress walls, excavations and videos of Bukhara from the observation deck made an indelible impression on me! I really liked it! I advise everyone to visit this wonderful place in Bukhara!
The Ark Citadel in Bukhara is a majestic journey into history. Its ancient walls and impressive architectural details make you forget in time. Exquisite design and cultural heritage create a unique atmosphere. A visit to the Ark Citadel is a fascinating immersion in the spirit of ancient Bukhara, leaving unforgettable memories.
Nicely. The walls are under restoration, but you can clearly see exactly how they were created. There is no stunning ensemble inside like in Khiva, but there are many museums. By the way, you can climb the wall and enjoy the view of all the mosques and madrassas of BUKHARA.
She survived the raids of Genghis Khan and the storming of the Red Army in 1920. The territory of the fortress was about four hectares, and the population reached more than three thousand people, among whom at various times were such great personalities of the Middle Ages as Omar Khayyam, Abu Ali ibn Sina, al-Farabi and Firdousi.
Oh, this is a place where history is in the air, a place that has been preserved without repair, in its original form, being in this place, you feel like you are breathing the air of history...
A beautiful place to take a walk, or just sit in the fresh air and admire the historical monuments of this city, fresh air, but one minus is too many scooters, bicycles and other vehicles that prevent people from walking
Well.... probably because work is still underway there((( there is nothing to look at at all, there are only sellers of everything, but you pay yourself to get to the market(((
Of course, you can visit, but the absence of a good guide in general can negate the visit. There's not much to see. Although the price tag is high, it creates the feeling of visiting an expensive museum...
An interesting place. There are a lot of interesting things in one place. There are many souvenir shops and beautiful locations for photography. The territory is large, and the timbers need to be laid for at least half a day.
An interesting place + a view of the city. Entrance to Sept.24 40000 soums. If you go completely around the fortress, you can see how a new-made wall is being built on one side (apparently so that the Failure does not fail)
A grandiose building of that time. For the chosen ones. In a word, Bukhara City. Everything is provided for, even the prison room. There are many visitors who want to know the life and way of life of the inhabitants of Bukhara. Very interesting.
The open-air Museum is undoubtedly something to see, historically a very interesting object. If you want to know how the Khans lived in the Middle Ages, go here. I would not be mistaken if I said that such monuments of antiquity have been preserved in such good condition in few places.
Very interesting, a great museum! Only the price for the visit upset me very much, it is three times more expensive for foreigners! Why! Who controls these prices and what guided you?
The most memorable location from the trip to Bukhara. There are many different museums inside, if you are interested in history, you can walk for a very long time. We are very happy that we got here
A monumental structure, both from the outside and from the inside.Be sure to visit with a guide, learn and see a lot of unusual and ancient things, you can sit on the throne of the ruler
It's beautiful, very colorful. There are small museums on the territory and beautiful exhibits that allow you to better convey the history of the country. You can walk and see the excavations of the old part of the fortress.
An interesting place, there are beautiful views from the water tower and from the fortress itself towards the Kolyan minaret. There are rooms with exhibits inside. The visit time is at least 1 hour.
The whole of Bukhara is a delightful city, which I liked the most in Uzbekistan. Of course, I perceive all these amazing monuments in a completely different way with a guide, be sure to listen to the story, a solid Arabic fairy tale
Undoubtedly the best attraction in Bukhara. Moreover, it is also an impressive museum , concealing the history of the whole of Bukhara and Central Asia
Ark is a wonderful ancient place of the 2nd century AD. They are still preserved in their original form, festivals and concerts are held there. There is a museum and an observation deck
Really large-scale. A grandiose structure, legend has it that Siyavush is the founder of the citadel. Archaeological excavations show that there was a fortification here in the middle of the first millennium. If you want to learn more, there is a guide service
