Cities
Khorog, Dushanbe, and Khujand will not pop up in the mind of tourist as much as modern cities like Paris, London or even Madrid, but it is crystal clear that there are exceptional and attractive features to a lot of the Tajikistan cities. The cities are full of theaters, museums, opera shows but you can be able to see some of the traditional chai-honas (teahouses), castles and also beautifully designed structures.
