Things to see and do

The bazaar

This teeming complex is where most local people do their weekly shopping. Shopping is synonymous with the bazaar in Uzbek culture, so much so that the word for shopping is bazar qilmoq, or, ‘to do bazaar’. Prices for produce can be cheaper at the bazaar, but discounts require bargaining and buying in bulk.

The bazaar runs from Usmona Yusupova street in the east to Yoshik street in the west, and at its widest point, from Dodho street in the south to Tadbirkolar street in the north. It’s split into 2 main sections: the food section, to the west of Hamza Hakimzade street, and the clothing section, to the east of Hamza Hakimzade. Don’t miss the bakery, situated on the west side of the food bazaar near the fruit vendors. Here you’ll see bakers pull out the round Uzbek bread on long paddles from flaming tadir ovens.
The food bazaar is worth a trip if only to enjoy the pungency of the smells. There’s the fresh baked bread of the bakery, the ripening fruit, the vinegar and dill of the kimchee and pickles, the fresh greens section, overflowing in the spring with basil, dill, and parsley, and the sharp sting of cumin. Goods are stocked by hand-drawn carts, the pilots yelling Bosh! Bosh! to clear a path through the crowds.

The clothing section sells mostly Chinese manufactured shoes, jeans, shirts, and suits. Although there is a section of local atlas and adras, if you are looking to buy silk, your first port of call should be the Kumtepa bazaar in Margilon, the Fergana clothing bazaar is for your everyday school and office wear.

Russian colonial architecture

Examples of Russian colonial architecture exist in varying states of repair around town. One of the finest is General Skobelev’s mansion at the southern end of the central park (Gmaps). Although it maintains much of its original exterior, the architectural unity is disrupted by large green corrugated metal panels on the roof, ostensibly used to hide vents.

Other examples of colonial architecture are the former women’s school located in the middle of the park, and the brick office of the rector of Fergana State University.
