The place is very beautiful, especially in the evening hours. It is perfect for hiking or walking with children. In the eternal city you can find cozy outdoor restaurants, souvenir shops. A great location for those who like to take pictures, because you can find many interesting places.
You can also take a boat ride along the canal, or ride a golf cart around the entire rowing canal.
A separate impression is a musical fountain, very beautiful and unusual for Samarkand

It's a city within a city. The architects recreated the eastern city. In this ethno park you can find an oriental bazaar, craft workshops and several restaurants. A water park is being built nearby, and there is a small amusement park.
In the evening, you can see a musical fountain.
There are many trees planted around the eternal city, and a rowing canal runs nearby.
The complex was built in 2022, not all rooms have found their owners, I think in a few years it will be a center of attraction for both tourists and locals.

Honestly, I really liked Samarkand on my last visit!The city has changed in 5 years, starting from the airport, it surprises with cleanliness, freshness, flowers, greenery, and special beauty.Just a delight!There are many
different boutiques, craft stalls, where souvenirs for every taste.There are many interesting places for walking and photo lovers.The Mignon Hotel, next to the rowing canal, the view is amazing.there is a lot of music and dancing in the evening - the national flavor is charming in everything and around!
The fountain!- it's necessary to be here and see him.People are kind and friendly, they talk with love about their beloved city, and artisans about their work.
I took a master class with a potter and made a jug out of clay.
I bought several souvenirs, silver, stoles as gifts.I will not talk about bazaars and cuisine - I just need to take and allow myself a small trip to the fraternal country of Uzbekistan, visit Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara, which I do once every 5 years.I recommend it, my dear readers.Good health to all, a lot! Voyage-voyage!!!

A magical place. This is a new building, but the market square was recreated with such care. Everything is green, clean, and full of flowers. Various events are constantly taking place: photo shoots in national costumes, concerts. The shops sell authentic handmade or handmade souvenirs. And what a stunning fountain that will remain in your memory forever. It is definitely worth visiting this place. Samarkand City is beautiful both during the day and in the evening when it is already getting cooler and the illumination turns on. From the eternal city to the fountain, you can drive an electric car for 10 thousand soums or walk about a kilometer.

A good place to spend an evening

A wonderful place, there is a large fountain, hotels, an embankment where you can walk, and then there is a town in an ancient national style, but in a modern design. There are cafes, restaurants, souvenir shops, and a stage for performances, and a pond, well, in general, such a complex that is worth a walk and plunge into the oriental flavor.

The Eternal City is unique in its concept. The first thing that surprises this place is a working light and music fountain.
The complex is very beautiful, sparsely populated ... there are many shops and shops with a variety of goods for the consumer and all of course for tourists.
All the traditional crafts of Uzbekistan are collected on its territory 🫰
Despite the fact that the complex is modern, there is an oriental flavor everywhere…
A good place to relax with your family.

Magnificent musical fountains. We had an incredible pleasure. A variety of musical compositions in excellent combination with the play of light and fountains.
In comparison with other fountains in different countries, in my opinion, this is the best option. The most modern technologies of musical fountains are used. I recommend it!

One of the most striking sights. It's worth a visit. But it's better to come when it's dark and the backlight is on. There are many workshops with workshops and souvenir shops inside, beautiful and clean. A great boat trip along the canal, a good, long route, beautiful views. Well, the fountain is the best in Uzbekistan!!! A very beautiful and diverse selection of music, the fountain itself is impressive in size and height and it really dances to the beat of the music! While in the eternal city itself, not everything is fully inhabited, there are many empty rooms, but over time I think everything will be ready to be filled

It's very beautiful, we came for the Nauryz holiday. We got to the opening. Musicians trumpeted in Karnai, and the city was guarded near the entrance in national Batyr costumes... MAJESTIC.
There was a concert for all the guests. Music, fun. The people rejoiced and rested. As guests, we were among the first to be treated to Sumalak.
We went into one of the open doors, where we were shown how paper is made. They told us everything, and we took a small part. And we learned a lot of interesting things.
There are many boutiques, a variety of goods. Fun, laughter and joy were everywhere.
We couldn't go for a ride on the river, we decided that we would come back again.

In 2022, the Eternal City tourist zone was opened as part of the Silk Road complex in Samarkand. A large ethnographic complex with many restaurants, cafes, workshops, shops, etc. Yes, it's a new model, but it makes an impression. Especially in the evening, when the backlight is turned on. A must-visit place in Samarkand.

It's interesting to see. A new model in the style of ancient structures, built for the SCO summit on the shore of the rowing canal. On the way to Samarkand. Of course, for authentic ancient architecture, you need to go to Samarkand itself. But the built Eternal City is also good. Beautiful views, souvenirs, cafes. It's very hot in the afternoon) but you can hide in a cafe or it's better to arrive in the evening

You can walk around the blocks and houses. The expositions are designed in such a way that it seems you came to visit, and the hosts went out for a while. We definitely recommend it

That's how the park of culture and recreation is written, so it is.
A small area of the "old city" like Khiva. It is neatly built up, it is pleasant to walk.
Shops, several restaurants.
You can't walk along the canal - there is space around, you can go far, there are no shops. There are new expensive hotels.
It's quite nice to take a walk.
They say there are no people in the morning, people have been coming since three o'clock.
I think it's beautiful there in the evening to sit in a restaurant by the canal with beautiful lighting in the heat.
In general, a place of rest. It's completely new, small.

This park is required to visit. It is very crowded during the holidays, concerts and various entertainment events take place. Despite the fact that it is located outside the city, Yandex taxi costs 20 500 rubles. In rubles for March 24, this is about 150 rubles. Therefore, it is possible to negotiate with local bombers for 20 thousand som.
In Samarkand, almost all the sights are scattered. In 4-5 hours, you can travel around everything for $ 40-45. The driver will promise to take you and tell you everything. But there will be a minimum of information, because this is not a guide.
I think it will be cheaper to get there by taxi. Each attraction is paid separately.

We were there before the opening of various shops and other outlets. It's like walking into an oriental fairy tale. Everything is done in the same style and creates a solid image of the town. There is a cafe with delicious ice cream. There is a lot of water around, you can go boating. The entrance to the eternal city itself is free, the boat is 50k sum for a walk. They write that the walk is 15 minutes, but in fact all 25 with access to large water.

The place is very interesting and beautiful. The pavilions are stylized as national monuments, not copies. Inside there are shops, dishes, paintings, clothes (the price is fixed, they are not traded, but the price tag is adequate), there is a restaurant (it was not). There are children's attractions, but they did not work, by the summer it was a very popular place, the locals said. We drove to the fountains on a square (10,000 soums, it seems) 1.5 km away.

They made it beautifully, sterile, but it's all artificial. It would be better if they developed infrastructure next to these real objects, made cafes and recreation places, than duplicated historical sites. There is a secondary side to this. Souvenirs and local handicrafts are sold in every real ancient madrasah and in every monument, a newly made Eternal City is not needed for them. It is better to equalize the quality of service in those that already exist in each museum and nearby. They just built it for the summit. This is the author's personal opinion.

The area is very beautiful. We were at the end of October. In the summer evening, it's probably nice to sit outside, drink tea and have a snack. But there's not much to do at the moment, just walk around and that's it. There is not enough fullness, activity and movement. It's pretty boring so far, it's worth developing the project more actively.

They always sing, more than once an hour, you can come at any time - another advantage. A shuttle runs from the gates of the eternal city for 10,000 soums.
