Overview
Andijan, on the eastern edge of Uzbekistan's Ferghana Valley, is a city of contrasts: historic old town (Eski Shahar) with traditional mosques and a modern Soviet-influenced south (Yangi Bozor). It's a budget-friendly base to explore the region and a convenient transit point to Osh, Kyrgyzstan, 70 km away via the Do'stlik border crossing.
