Tashkent railway station guide

Tashkent has two long-distance stations. Most daytime trains, including Afrosiyob and the Fergana Valley train, use the Central (North) station; some overnight trains use the South station. Always check which one is printed on your ticket.

Taxis and ride-hailing apps work well in Tashkent. At rush hour the metro is often faster: one line stops next to the Central station.

Key facts

Tashkent Central (North) station

  • Main departure point for Afrosiyob, Sharq, Nasaf and the fast Fergana Valley train.
  • A metro station sits next to the building, which helps at rush hour when taxis are slow.

At the station

  • Entry is through a security check with bag scanners. Staff check your ticket and passport at the door, and again before boarding.
  • Arrive at least 30 to 40 minutes before departure. Boarding can close a few minutes before the train leaves.
  • Keep the passport used for booking with you: the name must match the ticket.
