Panjshanbe Bazaar
Бозори Панҷшанбе
One of the most beautiful bazaars in Central Asia. The pink-vaulted main hall, built in 1964, is piled high with dried fruit, spices and flatbread.
Panjshanbe Bazaar is Khujand's most iconic attraction. The main market hall was built in 1964. Its pink façade, arches and dome blend Soviet and Central Asian styles. Inside, stalls are neatly lined with dried apricots, raisins, nuts, spices, honey and decorative flatbread, and vendors often invite passersby to sample their goods. Side streets lead to areas selling fresh produce, household goods, spices and clothing. The name means “Thursday,” and the Thursday market was traditionally the busiest. It is generally open from early morning until evening, and mornings are the liveliest time. The bazaar faces the Sheikh Muslihiddin Mosque, and the two can be visited together. Keep an eye on your belongings, and feel free to bargain when shopping.
