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 old fortress of Baku. Erected in the 15th century, the palace was the residence of the Shah of Shirvan. The complex consists of the palace where the ruler sat, the divan Khan courtyard, where the shah held meetings with courtiers, the palace mosque with a minaret, the tomb of the Shah, the baths, the mausoleum of the court scientist. Everything is very interesting.

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 :)
