Where to stay in Chilanzar
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Chilanzar offers a quieter, more local stay than the centre of Tashkent. It is a residential quarter. Rooms here sit among the housing blocks and everyday streets of a Soviet-era district rather than beside the main monuments, with the Peoples' Friendship Palace and the Theatre Muqimiy among the few large draws close by.
Stay in Chilanzar if you want a calmer base with easy transport into the heart of Tashkent.

About Chilanzar
What are the main landmarks in Chilanzar?
Chilanzar carries more monuments than its plain streets suggest. Its list is long. The Peoples' Friendship Palace is its best-known building, joined by the Monument to Yuri Gagarin, the Novza Mosque, the St. Vladimir Orthodox church, and the older Abulkasym Madrassah, with the Theatre Muqimiy adding a stage to the district.
Statues stand on many corners.
What is the history of Chilanzar?
Chilanzar is a young district by the standards of Tashkent, laid out in 1981. It began as new ground. The quarter was built as a planned addition to the growing capital rather than an old settlement folded into it, its street plan and name fixed in the Soviet decades of the twentieth century.
Its story starts on the drawing board.
Where is Chilanzar?
