Khujand

Khujand has founded in the seventh and sixth centuries BC. Later, Alexander the Great took control of the city, renovated it, and fortified it. It is an ancient city with a long history. For much of its Soviet existence, Khujand was known as Leninabad, and many residents still refer to it as such. Khujand is now a focal point for Tajikistan's industrial, scientific, and cultural development.

Visitors interested in the region's history should pay a visit to Khujand Fortress and the regional history museum. If you enjoy musical performances, pay a visit to Tajikistan Musical and Drama Theatre.

You can't get any closer to the Tajik experience than by visiting old Panjshanbe Bozor. Stroll through the busy and vibrant market, visiting local merchants and purchasing gifts for family and friends back home.

Somoni Park is yet another must-see attraction in Khujand. After nightfall, families, and couples flock to the lovely park. Enjoy the tranquil ambiance or take a stroll around the grounds to see the statues and fountains.
