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.

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!
