Dushanbe presents a good variety of monuments, museums and other sights that decorate the view of the young capital.
Very interesting are the Museum of Ethnography, where you can learn a lot about Tajik art, and the Tajikistan Unified Museum, which has optimal exhibits on history, natural history and art.
If you like shopping, you can go to visit the covered Barakat market or some of the charming makeshift bazaars scattered thorough the city.
It's also worth going to see a performance at Ayni Opera & Ballet Theatre.

The city is an amalgamation of lush mountains, beautiful streams and scenic locales. The place offers various trekking and climbing options apart from guided tours.
