Things to Do

Andijan is one of the oldest cities in the fertile Fergana Valley. Thought to have been founded 2,500 years ago, it was a major trading point on the Great Silk Road, and the ancient craft centre of the region.

Today Andijan is the third largest city in Uzbekistan (after Tashkent and Samarkand), with a population of about 425,00 people. It is the administrative, industrial, engineering, and agricultural centre of the Andijan region, the easternmost area of the country.
