Bains thermaux de Tachkent

The thermal baths of Tashkent draw on chloride-rich mineral groundwater beneath the Uzbek capital for public hammam and spa facilities that continue the ancient Central Asian tradition of communal bathing in the modern context of Uzbekistan's largest city. Tashkent, one of the great Silk Road cities rebuilt in a distinctive Soviet-era monumental style after the 1966 earthquake, combines its thermal bathing tradition with extraordinary Islamic heritage, world-class museums, and the vibrant Chorsu Bazaar. The city's thermal facilities offer an accessible introduction to Uzbek spa culture within one of Central Asia's most dynamic and architecturally fascinating capitals.
