A Day in Dushanbe for Under $10 – Parks, Cafés & Local Vibes

#cheaptravel Looking for a seriously budget-friendly day out? Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan, offers plenty to explore for under $10. Start your day wandering Independence Square, home to the Monument Istiklol and vibrant seasonal flowers. Nearby, Rudaki Park and Ahmad Donish Park offer green spaces and public art—perfect for a leisurely stroll.
