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 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!

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".
