The "City within the City" or the Old Town, which is a unique historical and architectural reserve and is included in the ENESCO list. There are many attractions, museums, souvenir shops and national sweets, restaurants and cafes on the territory. Lots of hotels.

It's a cool place steeped in a lot of history, lots of good establishments, lots of pomegranate juice merchants, lots of ancient architecture, and the place where the movie The Diamond Hand was filmed.
You should definitely visit when coming to Baku

I am sure that this is the main attraction of modern Baku. Narrow streets, ancient buildings, shops, cafes and restaurants, hotels, museums and palaces. Beauty! I recommend it to everyone!

Icherisheher, or the Old City, is the main tourist center of Baku. Here you can see the fortress walls, cozy narrow streets, the Maiden Tower, as well as many restaurants, souvenir shops and tour desks.
It will take a couple of hours to slowly walk around this wonderful corner.

Icherisheher - the old city - is the main business card of the city of Baku. It's like a city within a city, you can eat delicious food, take a walk, rent a house (if your wallet allows), visit the Maiden Tower and the Palace of Shirvanshahs, and much more.

The old city of Baku, surrounded by fortress walls, has several exits. Surprisingly, there are still many residential areas here, along with numerous hotels, restaurants and historical monuments.
Walking through the narrow streets of the Old Town is a real feast for the soul. There is an atmosphere of safety and goodwill here, and access to the metro and the city center is just a stone's throw away.
In 2000, the Old City, along with the Shirvanshahs' Palace and the Maiden Tower, was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

A very beautiful place with a rich history. If you stay in Baku, then definitely in this area. Everything is within walking distance. The film The Diamond Hand was shot within the walls of this fortress.

The living heart of Baku! We stop only here and I advise you to do it) a place where both tourists and locals go, and you live there. That's great! Many hotels to choose from) not to mention restaurants with local cuisine and delicious tea from the samovar. I agree with those who write about the old housing stock without an elevator and possible problems with bathrooms. But these are such little things for a wonderful holiday with the singing of birds from the philharmonic garden, the smell of a wood-burning samovar, the opportunity to walk along the stone paving stones and feel like a rich local Icheri Sheher)) I recommend everyone to visit at least!

A large shopping center. Beautiful, with a large huge space. We were very pleasantly surprised that there are films in Russian in cinemas. There is a good supermarket at the bottom. It is relatively not expensive to eat. But, of course, the quality is like in ordinary fast food. Not really tasty. But, you can try it once. There are beautiful views of the city, the bay and the sea.

The old City is the heart of Baku. Here you can experience the spirit of the city and the east. Icheri Sheher is home to historical cultural monuments, fortifications, mosques, palace complexes, museums, baths and caravanserais.
Entry to the Old Town by car is paid – two manats, each additional hour of stay will cost one more manat.

Icherisheher or the Old City in Baku. I am currently resting in one of the hotels in this area. The unique atmosphere, narrow streets, the number of attractions is off the scale and Palaces, and mosques, and baths, and the most famous Maiden Tower. There are many restaurants on the territory. It is impossible not to mention the place where the shots from the film "Diamond Hand" were shot and the cafe next to "Damn it". Cozy atmosphere, friendly hosts, delicious cuisine. In the immediate vicinity of the Old City, the main sights of Baku (Primorsky Boulevard, Carpet Museum, parks, Skyscrapers (Flame Towers). I highly recommend to plunge into this atmosphere of the Middle Ages in the 21st century

A legendary place in Baku, which no tourist route can do without visiting! 😃🇦🇿
Baku is the place where Istanbul was filmed, and on the street where Gorbunkov broke his arm, there is a restaurant "Damn it" 😁
All the scenes that took place in Istanbul according to the film were filmed in this city 🕌 Originally filming was planned in Turkey 🇹🇷, but there was not enough funding 💰 So the historical quarters of Baku with signs in a foreign language participated in the film 🌐
It is easy to get lost in these ancient quarters even today, although every street, even the smallest one, has its own name here, and every house has its own number. #azerbaijan #damn it #old Baku #diamond hand #iserisheher #baki #azerbaycan #baku #azerbaijan #oldtownbaku

The old city of Icheri Sheher, or Inner City, is the heart and soul of Baku. Its history dates back more than a thousand years and goes back to the Middle Ages. At various times, the city was a center of trade, culture and science, which is reflected in its numerous monuments and buildings. Icheri Sheher was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000, which underlines its importance and uniqueness.
Icheri Sheher often serves as a backdrop for the filming of films and television series. Its narrow streets, ancient buildings and unique atmosphere attract filmmakers from all over the world. Among the famous films shot here are "The Diamond Hand" and "Amphibian Man".

Do not believe that this is a big trading cent. Anyone who has been to any Moscow shopping center would disagree with this! There are no good brands. However! There is a large selection of clothes, toys, and entertainment for children...

This is a historical place where the "Diamond Hand" was filmed, and it still retains its unique atmosphere. The narrow streets, ancient buildings and picturesque views create the feeling of a journey into the past. Everything here is imbued with the spirit of antiquity and cinematic magic, which makes it a must-visit.

An amazing opportunity to touch history. It was amazing that thousands of people still live here. I arrived at 7 a.m. and walked for two hours and discovered a new beautiful cinematic picture at every turn. I chose the Shirvanshahs' Palace from the museums. I liked the concise expositions and the feeling of immersion at that time.

The old city of Baku, with a rich history, where the architectural complex of the magnificent Shirvanshahs Palace is located behind the fortress wall, the ancient Maiden Tower, which is a symbol of Baku, the grandiose Shamakhi Gate, ancient caravanserais, where you can still have a snack, as well as many old residential buildings, taverns, hotels, small craft shops, countless the number of souvenir kiosks and other places for tourists to get excited..
Unfortunately, making a profit trumps the desire to preserve the landmark for history. Despite the belonging of Icheri-Sheher to the UNESCO World Heritage Site, show-off cars are rushing along the narrow streets; I have not met such a high density per square meter of Maize anywhere, despite the rather modest average level of the local fleet.
