Icheri Sheher

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!

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.

A large shopping center. Beautiful, with a large huge space. We were very pleasantly surprised that there are films in Russian in cinemas. There is a good supermarket at the bottom. It is relatively not expensive to eat. But, of course, the quality is like in ordinary fast food. Not really tasty. But, you can try it once. There are beautiful views of the city, the bay and the sea.

A beautiful modern shopping center on the waterfront. There is a grocery store on the ground floor. We didn't see anything particularly interesting from the goods there.

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".

Icherisheher or the Old City in Baku. I am currently resting in one of the hotels in this area. The unique atmosphere, narrow streets, the number of attractions is off the scale and Palaces, and mosques, and baths, and the most famous Maiden Tower. There are many restaurants on the territory. It is impossible not to mention the place where the shots from the film "Diamond Hand" were shot and the cafe next to "Damn it". Cozy atmosphere, friendly hosts, delicious cuisine. In the immediate vicinity of the Old City, the main sights of Baku (Primorsky Boulevard, Carpet Museum, parks, Skyscrapers (Flame Towers). I highly recommend to plunge into this atmosphere of the Middle Ages in the 21st century

A string of streets, restaurants, very sociable, friendly locals. Take your time walking along the narrow streets, if you want to have a snack, you can always stop and sit in one of the restaurants.

We took an individual tour of the old town. Complete delight. Before my eyes are shots from famous films, intertwining epochs, cute cafes. There was no language barrier. Everyone understood Russian.

It is here that the legendary place where the scene from the legendary film "the diamond hand" was filmed, where our beloved Mironov and Nikulin lay on the pavement :-)

A legendary place in Baku, which no tourist route can do without visiting! 😃🇦🇿
Baku is the place where Istanbul was filmed, and on the street where Gorbunkov broke his arm, there is a restaurant "Damn it" 😁
All the scenes that took place in Istanbul according to the film were filmed in this city 🕌 Originally filming was planned in Turkey 🇹🇷, but there was not enough funding 💰 So the historical quarters of Baku with signs in a foreign language participated in the film 🌐
It is easy to get lost in these ancient quarters even today, although every street, even the smallest one, has its own name here, and every house has its own number. #azerbaijan #damn it #old Baku #diamond hand #iserisheher #baki #azerbaycan #baku #azerbaijan #oldtownbaku

Do not believe that this is a big trading cent. Anyone who has been to any Moscow shopping center would disagree with this! There are no good brands. However! There is a large selection of clothes, toys, and entertainment for children...

Walking is pleasant and interesting.
One of the disadvantages is a large number of cars on narrow streets

An amazing opportunity to touch history. It was amazing that thousands of people still live here. I arrived at 7 a.m. and walked for two hours and discovered a new beautiful cinematic picture at every turn. I chose the Shirvanshahs' Palace from the museums. I liked the concise expositions and the feeling of immersion at that time.

The old city of Baku, with a rich history, where the architectural complex of the magnificent Shirvanshahs Palace is located behind the fortress wall, the ancient Maiden Tower, which is a symbol of Baku, the grandiose Shamakhi Gate, ancient caravanserais, where you can still have a snack, as well as many old residential buildings, taverns, hotels, small craft shops, countless the number of souvenir kiosks and other places for tourists to get excited..
Unfortunately, making a profit trumps the desire to preserve the landmark for history. Despite the belonging of Icheri-Sheher to the UNESCO World Heritage Site, show-off cars are rushing along the narrow streets; I have not met such a high density per square meter of Maize anywhere, despite the rather modest average level of the local fleet.

The old buildings are beautiful. Cozy streets, souvenir shops, cafes. But the whole flavor is spoiled by modern new buildings that do not fit into the style. A lot of pestering people imposing to show the city.
