Tashkent Weather in April

April feels like spring

April is one of Tashkent's easiest months for getting around. Afternoons feel mild, while mornings and evenings are cooler. Rain falls on several days, so a shower may interrupt a walk, but it rarely defines the whole visit.

You can explore Amir Timur Square, the tiled courtyards of the Hazrati Imam complex and the city's broad parks without May's stronger heat. April is less reliable for a full day outdoors than the dry figures might suggest: cloud cover is common, and wet paths can make longer walks less pleasant. Save a flexible indoor option, such as the State Museum of Applied Arts, for a rainy spell.

Events and local life

Navruz, Uzbekistan's spring new year, is celebrated around March 21, so its main festivities usually fall before April. April's event calendar can vary, but Tashkent's International Jazz Festival has often taken place this month. Check the dates for your visit before building a plan around it.

Travelling with kids? The open spaces around Mustaqillik Square are handy for a break between city sights, though April showers can send you indoors.

Crowds and practical tips

April is popular for good reason: it's one of the best months overall, alongside May and October. Expect more visitors than in the colder months, but generally fewer than during the hot summer peak. Prices can rise with spring demand, so don't assume April is the cheapest time to stay.

At Chorsu Bazaar, take the metro to Chorsu station and follow the flow toward the market. The distinctive blue domed building is hard to miss. Go hungry: stalls sell local breads and plov, the rice dish Uzbekistan is known for. Rain can make the surrounding market lanes muddy, so keep your bazaar visit flexible.
