Umari Foruq (Aminjon) Mosque (GQC8+PJ6, Firdavs St): A tranquil place for some local color—beautiful architecture and peaceful vibes.

Firdawsi (64 microdistrict) Mosque: Further out, but worth it for authentic Tajik culture. Pro tip: Dress modestly when going inside.

Don’t Miss: Dushanbe Bazaars! Bustling, colorful, and absolutely the best way to try fresh produce or grab souvenirs. Go in the morning for the best deals and energy ⚡

How to Get Around:
Dushanbe is super walkable, especially in the city center! For longer trips or if you’re tight on time, local taxis are cheap (negotiate the fare upfront). Some marshrutkas (minibuses) also roam main roads.

Eat & Drink:
Don’t leave without tasting plov (rice pilaf) and fresh bread at a bazaar food stall. Local teahouses (chai khanas) are great for cheap eats and people-watching.

Extra Tips:
Cash is king—most stalls and cabs won’t take cards. The best weather: April–June or September–October.
