For your ceramic souvenir, favor the stalls of Registan for a first glimpse, or explore more specialized workshops outside the tourist center for an authentic piece. Allow at least an hour for choosing and bargaining.
The Ozgur-Art Traditional Art Gallery is an excellent introduction to Uzbek arts. Visit it early in the day to enjoy pleasant light and a calmer atmosphere; allow 1.5 hours.
The Khazrati Imam Complex is a place of tranquility. For a serene visit, try to go in the late afternoon, when the sun begins to set and the crowds dissipate. Allow 2 hours to explore it.
The Shah-i-Zinda Necropolis is most impressive in the morning light. Arrive early to avoid the crowds and to admire the mosaics from an optimal angle. Take at least 3 hours to explore this exceptional site.
