Inside the Old City, you can find architectural masterpieces such as the Maiden Tower and the Palace of the Shirvanshahs.
The modern part of Baku is equally captivating. The Flame Towers are the symbol of modern Baku, three shimmering towers that illuminate the night sky.

One of the key attractions in Ismayilli is the Lahij Village, a historical and architectural reserve famous for its cobblestone streets, traditional handicrafts, and copperware workshops. Lahij has preserved its ancient Persian heritage, with locals speaking a dialect of Persian and maintaining centuries-old traditions. The village is also known for its well-preserved medieval sewer system, which has been in operation for over a thousand years.
Guba
In the heart of Guba, within the surrounding mountains and lush apple orchards, there’s a hidden treasure—a small cave that locals believe holds a mysterious energy. This cave, known as the “Cave of Voices,” is tucked within a ridge and is said to produce strange, echoing sounds, especially during twilight. The origins of these sounds are unclear, but legend has it that they are the whispers of ancient spirits who once protected the town.
Though less famous than the waterfalls or canyons around Guba, this cave draws visitors who seek something more than scenic beauty—a quiet, spiritual experience in the heart of nature.

The fortress features thick stone walls and strategic watchtowers.
