Start with a quiet coffee and breakfast at CoffeeMoose. It is a short walk from the Historical Museum of Sughd Region and opens early enough to beat the heat. The atmosphere is calm, giving you time to settle in before the day gets busy.

Historical Museum of Sughd Region
Walk to the Historical Museum of Sughd Region. The reconstructed 10th-century fortress walls offer a striking backdrop. Spend this hour exploring the galleries that trace the area's history from Alexander the Great. The museum closes at 16:00, but since the sunset is at 17:19, you should aim to be inside or just outside by late afternoon. Note that the museum is closed on Mondays.

Stand by the fortress walls at sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting golden light over the ancient stone. This is the perfect moment to take in the view of the Historical Museum of Sughd Region as the day ends.
17:49
Stroll the short 5-minute walk to Kamoli Khujandi Central Park. As evening falls, the park comes alive with locals. It is a peaceful way to end the walk, surrounded by greenery just steps away from the historic center.
