Practical money tips for Uzbekistan
Card payments are widely accepted in most cities, but it's still worth carrying some Uzbekistani soʻm in cash for smaller vendors, local transport and rural areas. Notify your bank before travelling to avoid transactions being blocked, and compare card fees — many cards charge a foreign transaction fee that a dedicated travel money card avoids.
