Destination-specific money tips
- •Always have cash (UZS) on hand, especially outside major hotels and tourist spots.
- •ATMs are common in Tashkent, but some may have withdrawal limits or higher fees. Use ATMs affiliated with major banks.
- •While credit cards are increasingly accepted, they are not reliable for small purchases or in local markets.
- •USD and EUR are widely accepted for exchange and sometimes directly for larger purchases, but it's best to use the local currency for daily expenses.
- •Bargaining is expected in bazaars and smaller shops, but fixed prices are the norm in malls and modern establishments.
