Samarkand the Old Silk Route beauty to envhant one and all. Not to be missed both day time as well as night time illumination show. Mesmerising and awesome beauty engraved in colourful tile work of mighty magnitude. Only actual experience can explain the enchantment, excitement and wish to visit again and again.

The Registan is fabulous, one of the most awesome buildings in the world. We woke early and were both out before 6.30 to watch the sunrise. Another guy from the tour was there too and we paid one of the security to guards to get 'early admittance' to the buildings themselves. It was absolutely wonderful to walk around and look at the architecture and design without other people although a low bank of cloud delayed the sunset. We spent about an hour wandering into the different madrassas and courtyards before walking back to the hotel for a rather nice breakfast. Luckily there was no rush as the tour start was knocked back 30 minutes so we were able to take our time. First stop on the tour was ... the Registan again! We had yet another meander through the site and the sun was higher so the colours were a lot stronger. There were more people but it was by no means crowded and we were able to go onto the first floor in one of the buildings which let us see the internal construction and also gave a different set of views. There were also mini museums in some of the rooms which was interesting, learning about the scientific advances made in this period and how they influenced world history. There was also a beautiful mosque with golden interior that hadn't been open before in the Tilya-Kori Madrasah, the newest of the three at just 350 years old. I walked back to the Registan (3rd time) to watch the sunset. When I arrived it was pretty empty of people but the noise of the birds in the nearby trees was amazing! Deb then joined me and we stayed there for about 45 minutes watching the sky slowly darken and then the building lights get switched on. It was a wonderful evening and probably rivals sunrise over Palmyra for my best holiday experiences.

The place is majestic and much bigger than expected. The best view is from the platform accessible from the main road. To enter into the square the ticket is required and it is a single access only. The three madrasas are fantastic outside (the part visible from the platform) and inside. In the evening (in October) around 830pm a light shows starts. Personally i think the colour were to shiny and the music too loud so try to be there before to enjoy the real colours of the monument.

An amazing UNESCO Heritage site, the Registan housing 3 nos. Madrasas (Ulugbek, Tillakori & Sher Doh) features in the bucket list of most travellers & tourists. We visited the iconic attraction on a pleasant wintry morning and marvelled at the exquisite mosaic works & tapestry. The entry fee of 50000 Sums for access to the square and all three madrasas was quite reasonable. We saw many newly married couples coming for great photo shoots in their marital attire which lent the site a further festive look. A must visit, top attraction of Samarkhand.

The architectural views of Registan were amazing and we took many pictures. It looks elegant in the early evening with the lighting effects and blue sky. Very nice, clean and well maintained place. There is entry ticket of 100K SOM and it's worth. We visited Registan after 4pm, while the temperature was 3 degree C. It was chilling heavily. In total its a must visit place. Never forget to visit the mosque area inside Registan. English speaking people are less. Taxi will be cheap if you book through YandexGo App. If you really need some help and guidance, please connect with Mr. Damir - +972535023848. He is very supportive and talks good English. Also, try to visit Bokhara through the Fast Trains from Samarkand.

Beautifully & stunning — the pictures just don’t do justice. When you get here and see it for the first time it surprises you how beautiful the square is. It has been restored to its former glory and looks great. Perfect spot to take photos ; the light and sound show in the evening is very nice. Though it would be nice if there was a bit of English in the show.

This place is a must for everyone that strives to see most beautifull locations on Earth. Whole Usbekistan is a jewel, cultural history jewel, but Registan is one that is on the same level with Bagan, Agra, Buthan, Palmyra, Uluru and alike. And if you add exceptionall care that is taken for all monuments in Uzbekistan and safety wherever you are, then it is not a surprise that Uzbekistan is becomming one of top destinations.

Childhood dream realised. It is without a doubt beautiful however the shops and number of people could be overwhelming and detract. First went in the evening and decided to go in for a look. You can easily sit and enjoy the square without paying to go in. However by going in later it meant that none of the shopkeepers were there or stalls out so could just enjoy the buildings for what they were/are with very few people. There’s then a sound and light show which I hadn’t realised beforehand. Returned during the day and paid for a guide which was helpful in getting a better understanding. The drawback of going during ‘daylight’ is the shops are open and the pestering can be quite high. It was harder to enjoy the buildings and in some respects I preferred Khiva.

it would be a horrible pity, a total loss, to visit Samarkand and not visit Registan Square. This place is amazing and is, at least one of, the main reason to make the trip to Samarkand. The place is gorgeous. It was a bit strange to see so many market type shops set up in each of these buildings.

This place is amazing and a must see. Queue up and buy an entry ticket - hard to believe how many people go to the front and expect to push in. WTF. "Get back" Beautifully maintained. Quiet early but became busy quickly. So much history. Interesting the women having professional glamour shots taken around the site - potential film stars?
