Tashkent offers a welcoming atmosphere with friendly locals and a safe environment, making it a comfortable destination for travelers. The city boasts a variety of affordable and delicious dining options, particularly in its many cafes and restaurants. Food quality, including groceries, is generally high. Foreign visitors will appreciate the relaxed attitude toward different dress styles and a multilingual population where Russian is widely spoken.

Activities in Tashkent are plentiful, ranging from visiting traditional tea houses and bazaars to exploring nearby mountains and nightlife venues. The local subway system is noted for its aesthetics. While all four seasons are present, the climate includes a high number of sunny days annually.

Internet connectivity is considered stable overall. Home mobile broadband varies between 3-7 Mbps, while fiber-optic connections offer speeds up to 50 Mbps during the day and up to 200 Mbps at night, which supports most digital needs comfortably.

Driving within the city poses challenges due to local traffic behaviors, so many prefer using the affordable and accessible taxis. The society is generally religious yet tolerant, and the environment is culturally diverse despite a majority Uzbek demographic.

Delicious food, which is also cheap. Lots of cafes and restaurants. Activities are various: bazar visit, trip to nearby mountains, “chayxana” - traditional Uzbek tea house/restaurant, clubbing, horse riding. Beautiful subway which resembles the one in Moscow. Groceries are of high quality. Most people speak Russian, and are nice to foreigners. Almost no crime. It’s difficult to drive around, because of local driving culture. Thus, it’s better to move around on taxi which is cheap. City is somewhat multinational with majority being Uzbek. Society is religious, yet the state is secular. “Foreigner-looking” people aren’t condemned for their outfit. All four seasons are present, yet the amount of sunny days in a year is very high.

Values shown are estimated visits by traveling remote workers based on the total amount of trips logged by Nomads.com members. Visits to a place are only counted once per year per user, even if they visit more in that year. Visits are also normalized by overall trips added per month on the site, so if site usage goes up or down it does not affect trends. Not all digital nomads are on Nomads.com, and not all Nomads.com members log their trips. So the data is only indicative.

The chart below shows visitors by nationality normalized for population size. This means we take all trips logged on Nomads.com, check which country of origin the user is from, then divide that total visit count by the country of origin's population. If we didn't, it'd just show the big countries like US, Brazil and India always on top. Instead, this shows which nationalities worldwide proportionally visit more or less, which is more useful.
