What It Is and Why Visit

Turkmen Madrasa is a two-story historical Islamic seminary located in Bukhara's old town. Registered as a national cultural heritage site of Uzbekistan, it is valued for its traditional architecture, offering visitors a concrete look at the layout and construction of historic regional seminaries.

Getting There

The building is located within the pedestrian-accessible historic center of Bukhara. From the city center, it is reachable on foot in roughly 5 to 10 minutes. Travelers coming from Bukhara International Airport (BHK) can take a taxi to the boundary of the old town and walk the short remaining distance through the alleys.

Time to Spend
