Khiva
A compact UNESCO-focused destination in Khorezm, ideal for architecture-first trips and nearby fortress day routes.
Why Khiva Stands Out
Khiva is the strongest compact heritage stop in western Uzbekistan, with a dense old-city core and preserved architecture that works well for walk-first planning.
Best Use in an Itinerary
Plan 1-2 nights for Itchan Kala and add one nearby fortress-direction day if you want broader Khorezm context.
What You Can Do Here
- Prioritize Itchan Kala as the core UNESCO architecture block.
- Add one nearby route toward Ayaz Kala or Toprak Kala.
- Use Urgench transfer logic for cleaner arrival/departure planning.
