Where can I buy tickets?

You can buy train tickets online via the Uzbekistan Railways website. This (or visiting the train station yourself) is the lowest-cost option. Tickets normally go on sale 45 days (or less) before the date of travel and there is a small commission to use this site.

Alternatively, for your convenience, we can help you buy Samarkand - Bukhara tickets in advance (subject to availability).

We provide a hassle-free service in case you face technical difficulties with the Uzbekistan Railways website or want to reduce the risk of missing out on specific tickets.

Please note that the cost of buying tickets via Advantour (and other tour agencies) is generally significantly higher than that of buying them directly from Uzbekistan Railways. This reflects the costs we incur in providing the service and the additional value we offer. In particular, local travel companies that buy train tickets from Uzbekistan Railways are subject to demanding regulatory requirements that impose significant extra administration cost.
