An incredible place! The beauty is extraordinary. The scale is amazing. It was built before our era. From the height there is a magnificent view of the city. Entrance is paid, inexpensive. A must-visit when traveling to Bukhara!

A huge territory. On which souvenirs and cafes are located. It's better to visit at dusk, less merchants and fuss. But also during the day, quite.

The building is colossal. The entrance ticket includes all the museums inside. The exposure is quite small, but so as not to overwork normally. Souvenirs. Toilet. There are ruins of buildings in the center, most of them are unidentified, it is unclear. Unfortunately, the mosque is not working, it would be beautiful.

The impressive architectural monument, like many in Samarkand, carries a real, long-standing history. I definitely recommend the place to visit, there is a place to walk, something to listen to, and it's nice to take pictures

The Ark Citadel is the winter palace of the imam. It was a whole city for the ruler. Part of it was destroyed, leaving only ruins and tablets that used to be here. In all rooms there are different expositions about the life and lifestyle of the ruler and the people. It is interesting to see if you can do it yourself with a guide.

Nicely. The walls are under restoration, but you can clearly see exactly how they were created. There is no stunning ensemble inside like in Khiva, but there are many museums. By the way, you can climb the wall and enjoy the view of all the mosques and madrassas of BUKHARA.

The most uninteresting place during a walk around Bukhara.
Admission 40,000 soums (~307 rubles) for foreign tourists)
For local 10,000
There are not large museums on the territory and, of course, a huge number of souvenirs.

Majestic and monumental! The excavation area is particularly interesting... After visiting the citadel, I advise you to climb the Shukhov Tower, from there you can enjoy a magnificent view of Bukhara and the citadel. Well, and accordingly make gorgeous photos

I visited the Ark Fortress in Bukhara in April 2024! The beauty and power of the fortress walls, excavations and videos of Bukhara from the observation deck made an indelible impression on me! I really liked it! I advise everyone to visit this wonderful place in Bukhara!

A beautiful place to take a walk, or just sit in the fresh air and admire the historical monuments of this city, fresh air, but one minus is too many scooters, bicycles and other vehicles that prevent people from walking

An interesting place. There are a lot of interesting things in one place. There are many souvenir shops and beautiful locations for photography. The territory is large, and the timbers need to be laid for at least half a day.

It's a beautiful fortress, but it's more impressive from the outside than from the inside. There's not much to see or photograph inside. There is a beautiful view of the old town, if only you look inside from behind it

From the outside, the citadel is impressive, as is the whole old town. But inside there are dark rooms-museums, sucked out of the finger . Again, Uzbeks are sitting there selling souvenirs - everywhere . There is very little to see inside , but for the sake of sport you can go.

The open-air Museum is undoubtedly something to see, historically a very interesting object. If you want to know how the Khans lived in the Middle Ages, go here. I would not be mistaken if I said that such monuments of antiquity have been preserved in such good condition in few places.

She survived the raids of Genghis Khan and the storming of the Red Army in 1920. The territory of the fortress was about four hectares, and the population reached more than three thousand people, among whom at various times were such great personalities of the Middle Ages as Omar Khayyam, Abu Ali ibn Sina, al-Farabi and Firdousi.

Of course, you can visit, but the absence of a good guide in general can negate the visit. There's not much to see. Although the price tag is high, it creates the feeling of visiting an expensive museum...

Историческое место. Поскольку я в Бухаре не первый раз, для меня наибольший интерес представляло то, что находится за отреставрированным фасадом крепости. За небольшую платунас провели посмотреть. К сожалению, все здания в труху. Судя по записям в интернет - это результаты бомбардировки большевиков при взятии крепости. В общем, зрелище жутковатое. Очень жаль, что красивые исторические сооружения не дожили до наших дней. :-( С задней стороны крепости, той, что выходит на тюрьму, стена основательно разрушена. Её пытаются восстанавливать. Думаю, немало времени это займёт, учитывая масштабы разрушений. Место красивое и культовое. Стоит посетить.

An interesting place + a view of the city. Entrance to Sept.24 40000 soums. If you go completely around the fortress, you can see how a new-made wall is being built on one side (apparently so that the Failure does not fail)

Really large-scale. A grandiose structure, legend has it that Siyavush is the founder of the citadel. Archaeological excavations show that there was a fortification here in the middle of the first millennium. If you want to learn more, there is a guide service

A grandiose building of that time. For the chosen ones. In a word, Bukhara City. Everything is provided for, even the prison room. There are many visitors who want to know the life and way of life of the inhabitants of Bukhara. Very interesting.

Very interesting, a great museum! Only the price for the visit upset me very much, it is three times more expensive for foreigners! Why! Who controls these prices and what guided you?

To be honest, the impression is twofold. Huge fortress walls, several buildings, location in the city - everything is impressive. But there is nothing else, an empty stone desert inside the walls.

We didn't go inside, we looked outside from a high-rise observation tower. The fortress undoubtedly deserves a visit! But we didn't have time for it.

Круто и красиво. Причем, снаружи,больше чем внутри. Есть ряд музеев,улочек. Если обойти Арк снаружи,можно увидеть оставшуюся без реставрации часть и понять,как это было. Конечно, все что мы видим, это восстановленное. Но оно не умаляет грандиозности объекта.
