Local tips
Book Online
Use the Uzbekistan Railways website or app to book Afrosiyob high-speed tickets in advance. They sell out quickly.
Arrive Early
Get to the station at least 30 minutes early. Security checks are similar to airports.
Snacks on Board
The Afrosiyob train includes a light meal. For longer regional trains, bring your own food and water.
Train journeys are a wonderful way to see the Uzbek countryside. Your fellow passengers will likely share food with you, as it's customary. Accepting is a sign of respect.
