Everything is great in the Old Town (Icheri Sheher)! Scenes for such famous films as "The Diamond Hand" and "Amphibian Man" were once shot here. Tourists love this place very much, there are many restaurants and cafes in the old town, hotels, embassies of different countries, many museums, for example, the museum of miniature books, the house museum of jazz composer and pianist Vagif Mustafa-zadeh, shops with handmade products, souvenirs and jewelry. This is one of my favorite places in Baku! All these beauties were shown to me by a Russian-speaking guide, Sada Khanum, who has a @baku.authentic page where you can write to her, ask about everything, and book a tour of the Old City and beyond. She tells everything very interestingly and shows unfamiliar places in the city.

The beautifully preserved old city of Baku. Cleanliness, safety, stunning oriental architecture and the same fascinating oriental tales from your guide. An extremely unusual experience is the completely unobtrusive local souvenir sellers. I have to slow them down myself to buy something :)

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.
