Tezykovka Bazaar

Tashkent


The vast local flea market of Tezykovka Bazaar is also known as Yangiobod Market. This sombre sea of junk – ‘everything from hedgehogs to car parts’ as one resident put it – is located in the Khamza District, and reached by bus 30 from the Mustaqillik Maydoni metro, or take a taxi from the centre for 10,000S. It's a good place to pick up Soviet knick-knacks.

Keep a close watch on your purse or wallet (in this or any bazaar).
