Tashkent is well known for its beautiful metro stations, many of which date back several decades. This is the current metro system map I downloaded.
By the way, you can tap your credit card to ride the metro, and each ride works out to 19 cents Canadian! Alternatively, you can pay cash, and then it is about 25 cents.
I took photos in five of the stations. The train from Samarkand dropped me off at the Tashkent stop, so that is where I began.
Kosmonavtlar honours cosmonauts.
Chorsu, the stop below the Chorsu bazaar:
Alisher Navoi, which celebrates the 15th century literary work of the station's namesake.
And, finally, Pakhtakor, which honours cotton pickers (that's what pakhtakor means; by the way, Pakhtakor FC is a football club based in Tashkent, too).
