Namangan, Uzbekistan's second‑largest city on the northern edge of the Ferghana Valley, offers a compact historic centre with a madrassa and museum within walking distance; the 1st‑century Akhsykent ruins require a short taxi trip, so a half‑day to full‑day visit is enough before moving on to Andijan or other valley towns.

- Central Asia ↗Keep every hotel registration slip or its e-registration record until you leave Uzbekistan and Tajikistan; border officers can ask for proof of where you slept and fine gaps.
- Central Asia ↗Land borders between Central Asian states open and shut with politics and demarcation deals; confirm the exact post is open to foreigners the week you cross.
- Uzbekistan ↗Check entry rules on the official e-visa portal only; many nationalities enter without a visa for a limited stay, others need an e-visa. Lookalike sites charge extra.
- Uzbekistan ↗Foreign visitors are registered by hotels; keep any registration slip you are given and ask for one if you stay in a private home.
- Uzbekistan ↗Carry Uzbek soʻm in small notes; bazaars, taxis and small cafés are cash-first, and cards are accepted mainly in hotels and larger shops.
Entry rules depend on your passport. Full visa guide
