"In Tashkent, Chorsu Bazaar is described as a vast open-air market where a heady array of goods—fruits, spices, crafts and clothing—awaits visitors; shoppers are advised to haggle." - SilverKris
Interesting place to get a glimpse into local life. Main hall has meats, cheeses, dried fruits, etc. Adjacent areas have fruits, herbs, clothing, etc. Plus there’s an area that has freshly prepared foods. Great place to spend a couple hours exploring.

Fun place to visit for the wide variety of produce, especially dried fruits and nuts. However, be sure to visit the supermarket before you buy anything. Most of the same food products can be purchased there at very reasonable prices and no silly haggling.

Very good bazaar easily reached by the Metro. You can happily spend an hour wandering through all the stalls and being "surprised" by what's on offer. Certainly worth the effort to visit.

Excellent shopping district. There is everything. Even Souvenirs & cloths for tourists. Bargain hard & you will get a good price. Flowers, seeds, grocery, clothes, shoes, etc.

A very cool meat market, but it’s all the same. There’s an upstairs with dried fruits, spices, nuts and seeds. The sellers are very engaging and try to convince you to stop at every stand. Hygiene isn’t of huge concern, the smell of death is in the room and birds wander and poop right in the goods. I’ll label this one “authentic”.

I’ll be honest, blue dome looks amazing. But inside upon entering is meat and only meat. Outside much better so many options to explore like shop or eat food or clothes etc. get ready to give at least 2 hrs to see small part.

The bazaar itself is fun to walk around. You can exchange your left over Kyrgyz Som into Uzbek Som with the guys in a corner of the market (shown in the photos) but they take an enormous advantage of the fact no Uzbek bank accepts Kyrgyz som, so you only get half of what you give. The ultimate last resort.
