Samarkand
Registan Square, turquoise domes and the legacy of Amir Timur.
The heart of the Silk Road and one of the most beautiful squares on earth. The three madrasahs of the Registan, the Bibi-Khanym Mosque, the Shah-i-Zinda necropolis and Gur-e-Amir all fit into a single day on foot. After dark, lit up, the square becomes another place entirely.
