About the place

The tower stands in the north of the city near the Bozsuv canal and was designed to cope with the earthquakes common in the region. Its three-legged steel frame and round viewing pods make it easy to spot from many parts of Tashkent.

Visitors go up by lift to an observation level, and there are restaurants higher up. The view is best in the late afternoon and around sunset, or on clear winter days when the Chatkal mountains are visible to the east.

Security checks are thorough, so bring your passport.
