It is obligatory to visit! And best of all with a guide. To understand the grandeur of this place, you need to learn about Ulukbek.

One of the best and wonderful places in the city, there are always a lot of tourists who want to see the observatory. More than one tourist has not complained yet. I recommend visiting here

It's worth a trip if you've already seen everything else. Only the underground part of the quadrant remains of the observatory, which can be viewed from above. If you don't know what it is, you can't tell it from the stairs. A museum with a rather poor exposition, you can run for half an hour

There is no observatory as such, there is a small part underground (what has survived) and a museum. The guide will tell you about this place.

The Ulugbek Observatory is generally a wonderful place. In Samarkand, the highest point in the city is considered. Ulugbek's background was redone. All around, there are trees, shade, the wind is blowing, all tourists are invited to stay.

The highest point of Samarkand, where the observatory and the research rooms of Ulugbek himself used to be located.

It is beautiful, especially interesting to use augmented reality technology, although it is not always implemented adequately - sometimes some images are not readable. Inside the complex you can read all the information you are interested in about Ulugbek in English

Contradictory impressions, the daughter said that now she understands what was drawn in the textbook))) the monument is unique, but both it and the museum are very small, and it seemed worth a visit... but as if something was missing...

Very beautiful! But that's all that can be said. Entrance, as everywhere in the tourist places of Samarkand, is paid (30 thousand soums for CIS citizens). Two objects for inspection. The museum is boring (with a guide, it will probably be boring too). There is also no entrance to the observatory (only the descent down is visible from the doors).

There's not much to see for yourself. Be sure to take a guided tour. A total of 80,000 soums.(At the entrance to the museum. ) and the impression will be completely different!

The story is beautiful. You need to take a guide. Science is a good thing. Especially what Ulugbek did. The brain of that time was.

The place of power, I would say.... I was parasitized by the data on the position of the luminaries of those times and modern readings....The difference is a few seconds!!!

It's amazing, these people had such knowledge in the 15th century, which 99 percent of the current generation do not have!

I do not recommend visiting. Here you will see a basement with a hole to the street, about which they will not tell you anything, only for an additional fee (in addition to the entrance fee). And a museum with books under glass and all sorts of nonsense.
If you are not a fan of astronomy or personally of Ulugbek, then do not waste your time

The information provided is interesting, but it is not enough. Only one room for 40,000 soums. Moreover, the locals go for 3,000 soums. In my opinion, it is not comparably expensive

The unique structure was built by Sultan Ulukbek (Timur's son) when there was not even a university in Russia! Ulukbek made a lot of astronomical observations in it, just by studying the falling ray of the Sun! Brilliant! Be sure to visit, use the augmented reality service, it's more interesting this way.

It's very interesting, you need to take it with a guide. It is a pity that only a part of the design remains, who is interested in liking it. The museum is weak, of course.

The observatory is amazing in its scale. And the fact that it was made with one hand, without technology, is hard to believe. The children were very impressed by the observatory. They were interested in her story.

The observatory operated under Tamerlane's grandson, Ulugbek, who was not only a ruler, but a famous astronomer, so the observatory is named in his honor, the Ulugbek Observatory. First, it is worth visiting the museum building, and it is necessary to have a guide from the museum, it makes no sense to visit this place without a tour. And after the museum and receiving information on visual exhibits, who Ulugbek was, what a tremendous contribution he made to the development of astronomy, you can also inspect the observatory, or rather what remained of it centuries later - a quadrant with a radius of 40 meters and an arc length of 63 meters, precisely oriented along the meridian line. One of the minor planets and one of the craters on the Moon are named in honor of Ulugbek. It is amazing how astronomy developed at a time when there were still no modern measuring instruments, for example, back in the 15th century, Ulugbek was able to calculate the number of days per year with an accuracy of minutes and created the most accurate table of the movement of celestial bodies with a catalog of 1018 stars for his time.
