Toshhovli Palace, a magnificent 19th-century residence within Khiva's UNESCO-listed Ichon-Qala, is renowned for its stunning blue and white tilework. Access involves walking on uneven surfaces and stairs, making it somewhat challenging for wheelchair users. While self-guided visits are feasible for independent exploration, a local guide is highly recommended to fully appreciate its rich history, architectural nuances, and the stories behind its courtyards (including the famous Harem). Best visited during spring or autumn (April-May, September-October) to avoid extreme summer heat or winter cold, it's generally open year-round with varying hours. Entry is typically covered by a combined Ichon-Qala pass, costing approximately 120,000-180,000 UZS (around $10-15 USD), and a visit usually takes 1 to 2 hours. Don't miss the intricate mosaics and carved wooden columns; wear comfortable walking shoes and be prepared for plenty of photo opportunities.
