16:39
Grab a plate of Khujandi-style plov and tea. This is the best spot in town for the local variety, and it is just a two-minute walk from the mosque.
16:59
Walk 35 minutes west to Victory Park. Arrive before the sun dips below the horizon to see the giant Lenin statue and WWII memorials bathed in golden light. The park transforms into an amusement area for locals in the evening, so you will see the neighborhood coming alive.
17:49
Head to the nearby café for a drink after dark. It is only a four-minute walk from the park and stays open until 21:00.
Local tip
The walk to Victory Park is long (35 minutes). Start your meal early so you have time to stroll through the streets as the light fades.
