About Dushanbe
Dushanbe rises in a mountain valley 800 metres high—the city remains Central Asia's least-known capital, dwarfed by surroundings and overshadowed by tourism flowing to Uzbekistan. Soviet-era buildings mix with newer construction; the National Museum contains pre-Islamic Buddhist and Islamic artifacts. The city pulses with authentic, uncommercial energy.
