A very beautiful place in the center of the old town. In good weather, it's nice to take a walk, enjoy the views and get acquainted with the history of this city and place. It will not be very convenient with children, because you need to go down a steep staircase to see the entire territory. I definitely recommend you to visit.

Admission is 15 manats. When we approached there was a big queue, we decided to just go and look outside. In general, the whole city looks cool, it's a pleasure to walk. As we were told who was there, there's not much to see inside, since everything has been looted for a very long time and in fact there are bare walls everywhere)
And so there are beautiful views from above.
If you have an extra 15 manats, then of course you can visit :)

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Shirvanshahs' Palace, located in the old city. This place turned out to be not just a beautiful museum, but also a real historical monument that is worth seeing with your own eyes.
The first thing to note is the cost of the visit. 15 manats for admission.
The palace building itself is a real masterpiece of architecture. Its history goes back to the distant past, and even a small review of its history can take a long time. That is why I would recommend visiting the palace with a guide. This way you can learn more interesting and informative information that will make your visit even more exciting.
In general, the Shirvanshahs Palace is a great place for those who are interested in history and architecture. If you ever find yourself in Baku, be sure to visit this museum and immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the past! :)

Alas, this place is not striking in its wealth. If the shah was modest, then everything was stolen many years ago. Rooms
The guide mumbles about the great history of the country
But there are very few traces of this story.
The price of 20 manats per adult for half-empty halls and a new model is a so-so pleasure.
But I repeat, for the first visit to Baku, you can go.
To my taste, it is restored from the outside better than it is filled with content inside.
According to the exhibits, any Suzdal museum turns around once every 10 years.
But the guides tell excellent fairy tales. Children have a place to climb. As they say, these stones breathe history.

A small but interesting exposition. I liked the model of the old city in one of the halls of the palace the most. The palace itself is small, there are no such spaces that you can think of with the word "palace".

If you are interested in history, you can visit. The palace itself is without luxury, but the buildings are historical. The spirit of the era is present. In general, it is not required to visit, but it is recommended

The beautiful castle complex is no worse than in Europe, and somewhere even better. Small in size, you can inspect it without straining and even with small children. I really liked the safety, cleanliness and traditional Azerbaijani hospitality.

One of the main attractions of the old town. The construction of the palace dates back to the 13th and 16th centuries. Now there is a museum located on 3 sites. The cost of a visit for foreigners is 15 manats, a separate fee for viewing the treasury is 10 manats.

it is a very beautiful atmospheric place, you can freely walk around the palace, enter the mosque and mausoleums - no one is watching
beautiful locations in the photo, a wonderful view, and we also accidentally got to the rehearsal of the choir 1000/10
the exposition itself is small, but informative. a ticket for foreigners is expensive, 15 manats, but in general it justifies the price

A beautiful ancient city with narrow streets of the film "The Diamond Hand". The palace itself has been restored, and the main valuables have been taken to England. There are many interesting shops in the old city, their prices are 25-80% more expensive than in the new city and 100-200% more expensive than in remote areas of Baku. Entrance to the old town by car is paid

It was a disappointment: the exposition was very sparse, there were no rooms with comfortable living conditions, only a few carpets, a showcase with coins, and empty walls. Just so you know, I didn't even make a single video, because there's just nothing to shoot! And most importantly, the lower rooms, which are shown on all maps, are actually closed to the public. And all this for 20 manats! It's not worth the money! I do not recommend it!

Impressive, cats are greeted at the entrance. In Baku, cats walk freely around the city, slowly going about their business, not paying attention to people and cars. People buy food and feed them. Friendly attitude.

A very beautiful museum, many exhibits, beautiful places, etc., yet it is ancient, there is even a courtyard behind the palace where someone died.. skeletons are also present, the great mosque for Shirvanshahs surprised me very much, but it did not rise to the top, I bet 5/5

I liked. It was quiet and atmospheric. We were impressed by the mausoleum, the baths and the contents of the museum. I learned in an accessible way who the Shirvanshahs were.

The views are beautiful from the outside, it looks like Bukhara. I did not go inside, the entrance of 15 manats is too expensive, when there are still bare walls inside, after Uzbekistan and that beauty, there is no desire to come here for such a price, unfortunately.

There's nothing special. There are no decorations inside. I advise you to just go in and take a picture outside rather than buy a ticket for 15 manats for adult tourists.

An interesting technique of turns (I heard a piece as the guide told me), the hall where traditional music plays, touched me right to the depths of my soul.
A trunk covered with a carpet is very cozy, I wanted to go home so much.
The rest is just stones, everything has been stolen there for a long time.All the wealth.
If you spend a lot of time in Baku, then of course you can go, but if you don't get there, it's not critical.I went on my own without a guide.It is important to know that there are 3! the yard.

Well, it's nothing special at all. There are very few exhibits. A couple of carpets, a couple of jewelry, a couple of paintings. Almost all of them are from the 19th and 20th centuries. The palace itself is quite small. The entrance price of 15 manats is greatly overstated

Perhaps I just expected more or did not feel the triumph of the moment, or I associate palaces with more luxurious architectural forms))
But the Shirvanshahs apparently did not take up decorating, they thought more about security in the 15th century. But we were friends with geometry: everything is clear and even.
It's more of a fortress than a dwelling. Although, again, this is from the point of view of the pampered inhabitant of the metropolis of the 21st century.
Once you can check it out, but another time you won't want to.
The museum, located in narrow, semi-dark halls and passages, also did not impress with either the exposition or the presentation.

An interesting place, there is a lot to see. At first we wanted to take a guide, but it was a long wait, so we decided to go for a tour ourselves. And they did not regret it at all, there are all descriptions of sights inside. There was also the Internet, we found a large article with interesting facts.

The most famous and ancient attraction of Icheri-sheher, the old city of Baku (in addition to the Maiden Tower). The collection of artifacts of ancient Azerbaijan is not very large, mainly of the 19th century, but informative.

The pride of the residents of the capital of Azerbaijan. National Cultural and Historical Museum in the Old Town. Informative. Historical household items are presented.
It is very hot indoors on a hot day.
This is the palace of the shahs.

Building inside the old town. You can enter the city itself for free at any time. The palace is open on schedule from 10-20 seven days a week. The ticket is 15 manat per adult, all other museums and buildings are included. In fact, an hour is enough for your eyes if you are not an expert, but just to take a look. There are souvenir shops, there are no cafes inside.

Baku, in principle, is not a cheap city for a tourist. The old town, especially! But the cost of tickets to enter the museum, where to watch (according to reviews of those who have been there) is unreasonably high! It's not a pity for money, I didn't want to get disappointed by expectations. We didn't go...
