- House-Museum of Babur (Babur Memorial) — The city where the Mughal founder was born; the small museum and adjacent park give real context to his life and lineage, with manuscripts, local artifacts and a relaxed spot to picture 15th-century history against everyday Andijan.
- Babur Square and Monument — The civic heart near the museum where locals meet, vendors sell snacks and you can watch daily life unfold around Babur’s statue; great for photos and people-watching at dusk.
- Andijan Regional History Museum — A compact but solid regional museum with archaeology, ethnography and Soviet-era exhibits that explain how the Fergana Valley shaped the city’s culture and economy.
- Andijan Central Bazaar (bozor) — Raw, colorful and unavoidable: walk the aisles for fresh produce, nuts, spices, dried

- Andijan Central Bazaar (bozor) — Raw, colorful and unavoidable: walk the aisles for fresh produce, nuts, spices, dried fruit, and small stalls selling textiles and household goods — a real lesson in local foodways and bargaining.
- Friday (Juma) Mosque — The main mosque in town; beyond its architecture you’ll get a sense of communal life at prayer times and can learn local customs from friendly worshippers and caretakers (observe modesty rules).
- Hamza Hakimzade Niyazi House-Museum — A modest museum devoted to the writer and reformer associated with the region; it’s one of those quiet cultural stops that ties modern Uzbek literature and social reform back to the Fergana Valley.
- Andijan State Drama Theatre — Catch a performance if you can; the theater is a good place to see contemporary Uzbek stagecraft, Soviet-era architecture and how the city’s arts scene gathers locals for big nights.
- Central Park / Victory Park — A people’s park for evening strolls, street food and the kinds of monuments that tell local stories; good for cooling off, chatting with families and watching kids and cyclists.
- Traditional workshops and craft lanes — Hunt down the small workshops where shoemakers, leather workers and metal artisans still practice trades — hands-on, noisy, and a great way to meet makers and pick up honest, locally made souvenirs.
- Old-town lanes and chaikhanas (tea houses) — The backstreets around the center are where you find authentic chaikhanas, neighborhood mosques and fading merchant houses; best experienced on foot with time to stop for tea and conversation.
