Nurullaboy Palace

Very expensive for what you see. It is really an average museum not a palace. The three rooms outfitted like a palace are mediocre. The exhibits teach a bit about Khiva history. I liked the photography exhibition best of all.

Nurullaboy Palace should be a must on anyone's visit to Khiva, Uzbekistan. Although one section was closed, the rest is made up of a number of buildings that show sumptuous rooms and gardens. Recommended

Good for a slow morning if you've done the main city the day before. Pretty expensive for Uz at 120k som per person and not really worth the extra cost Vs other monuments but it's ultimately not that much. Quite a large complex with some interesting interiors and photo exhibitions though most of it is shut.

Nurullabay Palace is a stunning architectural monument built for Asfandiyar Khan by his father, showcasing the epitome of luxury in the early 20th century. The interiors are breathtaking, with intricate art and craftsmanship that reflect the grandeur of the era. The property is vast, housing art galleries, historical photo exhibits featuring the works of Uzbekistan's first photographer, and a collection of old artifacts. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the blend of traditional Khivan and European influences. A must-visit for history lovers and anyone interested in Uzbekistan’s royal heritage

Maybe worth a short visit, but definitively not the entrance fee of 60.000 som. A lot of empty rooms, a couple of courtyards, a nice exhibition of XX century photography and a couple of elegant residences (filled with a lot of articles from Germany). Maybe a useful tip for the visitors: the only places worth a visit are the ones in which is mandatory to take off the shoes.

We went on Monday, it was almost empty, very nice to walk around and spend some time to chill and relax. Nice insides and gardens

Huge property and interesting palace to see. You can easily get lost as there is no predefined route and you can basically go wherever, which makes it more open and fun. There some interesting exhibits scattered around the palace. Would love to see more of the rooms filled up but I guess that will come with time, I suppose.

I like this palace a lot because unlike most palaces I've been to around the world, this one has very very few tourists. Most of the time I enjoyed the space all by myself. So even though it's not the fanciest nor with the most cultural collections, imho it's worth checking out if you're already in Khiva.
