Fergana Bazaar

Fergana Valley


Fergana’s most appealing attraction is the modern bazaar, filled with good-natured Uzbek traders, leavened with Korean and Russian vendors selling homemade specialities. It sprawls over several blocks north of the centre, and is a pleasant place to explore and soak up local colour.
