Map of Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan is located in Asia. Its territory lies in the northern and eastern hemispheres, centred near 41.0° N, 64.0° E. Uzbekistan is landlocked, enclosed on every side by its 5 neighbours — Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan — with no coastline of its own. Within Asia, a continent of 49 countries bordered by the Arctic Ocean, the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, Uzbekistan is mapped here in full with its borders, capital and key facts.

Landlocked Uzbekistan is surrounded by the following 5 countries. Select any neighbour to open its own map.

Uzbekistan covers about 447,400 km² (172,742 sq mi). That makes it the 56th-largest country in the world by area and the 15th-largest in Asia, larger by area than 34 of the continent’s 49 countries.

It is home to a population of roughly 37,859,698, the 38th-largest in the world and the 16th-largest in Asia, accounting for about 0.8% of the continent’s people. With that land area, Uzbekistan has an average population density of about 85 people per km². Among the 49 countries of Asia it stands 16th by population and 15th by area.

The seat of government is Tashkent, and the official currency is the Uzbekistani soʻm (UZS, so'm), and the main official languages are Russian and Uzbek. Traffic drives on the right, and the country observes the time zone UTC+05:00.

Uzbekistan carries the ISO country codes UZ and UZB, dials on the international calling code +998 and uses the .uz internet domain.

Uzbekistan shares its land borders with 5 countries, each of which is mapped in full on this site. Listed from the most to the least populous, here is how they compare.

Its neighbours are Afghanistan (capital Kabul, about 43,844,000 people), Kazakhstan (capital Astana, about 20,426,568 people), Tajikistan (capital Dushanbe, about 10,499,000 people), Kyrgyzstan (capital Bishkek, about 7,281,800 people) and Turkmenistan (capital Ashgabat, about 7,057,841 people).

By area, Uzbekistan is larger than 2 of these neighbours and smaller than 3 of them, which places its size in context along its own frontiers. Open any neighbour above to see its capital, borders and full set of facts on its own map.

The interactive map above is centred on 41.0° N, 64.0° E and opens at zoom level 5, framing Uzbekistan within Asia. A marker pin sits at the country’s approximate geographic centre; drag the map or use scroll and pinch to move from a regional overview down to the streets of Tashkent. The map is drawn from OpenStreetMap data, the same open dataset used across this site, so place names, roads and coastlines stay consistent from one country to the next.

Uzbekistan lies about 4,551 km from the equator, in the northern and eastern hemispheres of the globe. As a landlocked country, every direction from its borders leads onto neighbouring land rather than the open sea.

Uzbekistan keeps a single standard time zone, UTC+05:00. That figure is the country’s offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), the modern reference that for everyday purposes matches Greenwich Mean Time, so local clocks sit +05:00 relative to UTC before any seasonal daylight saving change.

The official currency is the Uzbekistani soʻm (UZS, so'm).

The official languages are Russian and Uzbek, which is what appears on signs, documents and many of the place labels you will see on the map.

For practical reference, vehicles drive on the right-hand side of the road, the international dialling code is +998 and websites commonly use the .uz internet domain.

In short, Uzbekistan is a landlocked country in Asia, sharing land borders with 5 countries. Its capital is Tashkent. Uzbekistan has a population of about 37,859,698 and covers around 447,400 km² (172,742 sq mi), ranking it 38th in the world by population and 56th by area.
