Tashkent offers a safe and welcoming environment with a diverse range of food options that are both delicious and affordable. Local grocery produce is of high quality, and there are many cafes and restaurants to explore. The city has a vibrant mix of activities from bazaars and traditional tea houses to clubbing and mountain trips. Public spaces like the metro are beautifully designed, resembling Moscow’s system. The majority of residents are Uzbek, but the city is multinational and friendly toward foreigners. Most people speak Russian, and cultural dress norms are flexible, with no judgment aimed at foreigners. While society is religious, the government is officially secular.

Internet is reliable and generally fast. Mobile broadband offers decent speeds, and fiber connectivity can reach up to 200 Mbps during off-peak hours. Taxis are affordable and preferred over driving, due to the challenging local driving culture. Tashkent experiences all four seasons with many sunny days throughout the year, making the weather generally pleasant. In short, the city combines low living costs, safety, and decent infrastructure, making it a practical place to live or visit.

Internet connection is stable. Mobile broadband speed in range of 3-7 Mbps from home (10 km from center of Tashkent), fiber-optics connection is also stable - up to 50 Mbps at the daytime (from 12 pm till 12 am) and up to 200 Mbps at night (from 12 am till 12 pm)

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.

400 remote workers in Tashkent now, of which 2+ members checked in (some members are set to private)

Members who will be here soon

Members who have been here

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.
