Navruz Park in Tashkent
The Navruz ethnographic complex is a large park in the central part of Tashkent, where you can look at the works of local craftsmen, buy local souvenirs, and ride the largest Ferris wheel in the city.
Navruz Park: what to see
The park was opened in 2019. Its territory is divided into several zones. The main one is the ethnographic town. Here there are shops with souvenirs and local clothes, workshops, and photo zones. In the central part, there is a platform that is periodically used as an open-air cinema.
Not far from here, there is a small area with miniature copies of the country's architectural sights. Here, for example, you can see models of Registan Square and the Ark Fortress. An open stage "Navruz" in the shape of a flower is located nearby.
Here you can also see the largest Ferris wheel in the city. It is called the "Star of Anhor". The height of this structure is 72 meters. Visitors are offered to take a ride in standard and VIP cabins. The latter are more comfortable.
If you decide to leave the park through the eastern exit, you will see another interesting attraction — the "Happiness" bridge. Its length is 88 meters. Those visitors who have been to St. Petersburg will probably notice that this structure resembles the crossings of the Northern capital of Russia. Such a coincidence is not accidental: the bridge project was developed at the St. Petersburg institute "Giprostroymost".
After a walk in the park, you can walk to the Courage Monument or stroll along the Anhor Canal to admire the snow-white Minor Mosque.
