Getting into Dushanbe

Worth knowing about Dushanbe
- Dushanbe Railway Station runs three pairs of trains and no more: a daily service to Pakhtaabad, one to Shaartuz and Kulob on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and a weekly train to Tashkent.
- The road north out of Dushanbe crosses the Anzob Tunnel, 5,040 metres long at an altitude of 2,720 metres, 80 km northwest of the city. It opened only partly built in 2006, earned a reputation as one of the world's most dangerous tunnels, reopened after repairs in September 2015 and was formally inaugurated in August 2017.
- Before that tunnel the main road between Tajikistan's two largest cities ran through Uzbekistan, and Uzbek border closures severed Dushanbe from Khujand for close to half of each year. The tunnel saves at least four hours and keeps the journey inside Tajikistan.
- Dushanbe has no metro. Its electric backbone is a trolleybus network running since 1955, where each vehicle carries a driver and a conductor who takes the fare on board.
- Air transport within Tajikistan has long been described as unreliable, and Dushanbe is by far the largest of the country's airports, ahead of Khujand and Kulob.
