TimeOut magazine included Registan Square in Samarkand in the list of 44 most beautiful places in the world.

The publication collected the opinions of seasoned travelers from all over the world, who told about the most beautiful places they had visited. The result is a list that can be considered a guide to the most stunning corners of our planet.

Here is how travelers who have visited Samarkand describe Registan Square:

“A vast square flanked by three monumental structures, Registan Square is the ancient heart of Samarkand, the quintessential Silk Road city in present-day Uzbekistan.

Registan’s three fifteenth- to seventeenth-century madrasahs are a spectacle of arched gateways, glimmering domes, and tall minarets, decorated with geometric patterns in bricks, tiles, and mosaics.

These buildings are as majestic as they are elegant, as breathtaking as they are welcoming. And come dusk, they’re lit up in all their glory”.
