Buy your tickets through 12go or directly on the Uzbekistan Railways website. Choose your date and route; for a high-speed journey, select a departure identified as Afrosiyob. Other trains can serve the same cities, so compare the train, class and arrival time as well as the price.
Choose your route below, then compare the trains, classes and total price offered for your travel date. Check the selected train name before choosing Afrosiyob.
Other Uzbekistan rail journeys: Tashkent → Karshi, Karshi → Tashkent, Tashkent → Urgench, Urgench → Tashkent, Tashkent → Nukus, Nukus → Tashkent.
Choose the departure before planning the day
For a Tashkent–Samarkand–Bukhara itinerary, book each leg for the actual date you will travel. Read the departure and arrival times together: an early hotel checkout, station transfer or late check-in can change which train is the better choice.
If your preferred Afrosiyob departure is unavailable, compare the other trains and dates offered for the same journey. Use their actual arrival times when arranging the next hotel night. Do not treat an alternative train as having Afrosiyob’s journey time or amenities.
The longer-distance links above lead to rail searches, not a promise that Afrosiyob operates every listed route.
Check these details before payment
- Route and stations: confirm the direction, departure date and the precise station names. Do not choose a hotel transfer from the city name alone.
- Train and accommodation: check the train name, class and any seat or berth information supplied for that option.
- Passenger: enter the name and passport details required by the seller carefully, using the travel document you will carry.
- Total and conditions: read the final price, what the seller will provide, ticket-delivery instructions and cancellation conditions before completing payment.
Keep the booking and ticket ready
After booking, save the confirmation and any issued ticket offline. Check the passenger, train, date, route and station details against what you selected. Keep the seller’s contact or help link with the booking so you can find the relevant order if something needs resolving.
If a payment attempt fails or a confirmation is unclear, preserve the error and order details and contact the channel handling that purchase before making another attempt. A banking notification alone is not the travel document you need to present for the journey.
Cancellation questions belong to the purchase channel
Use the seller and order details on your confirmation when asking to cancel or resolve a booking. Check the applicable conditions before choosing a replacement ticket. Ask what refund, deductions or change options apply to that particular order; do not assume a full refund or an immediate return of the payment.
Match the train to your hotel arrival
For Samarkand, decide whether you will go to the hotel with luggage before visiting Registan or the other monuments. For Bukhara, save the hotel entrance and agree where a driver can drop you off near the Old Town. For a return to Tashkent, confirm late-arrival access if your train reaches the city after your usual check-in window.
- Samarkand: one or two sightseeing days
- Bukhara: Old Town route and hotel base
- Where to stay in Tashkent
Before leaving for the station
Have your passport, issued ticket and booking details available offline. Use the station named on that ticket, allow time for entry checks, and establish the platform and carriage at the station. Arrange the hotel-to-station journey separately from the intercity ticket.
