The Old City is the historical core of the city. The Maiden Tower (behind me here) and the Shirvansha's Palace are well worth a visit but I was struck by the juxtaposition of old and new architecture from this spot.

Photography Tips

When I visited in June 2021 (for Euro 2020) I didn't see a cloud in the sky the whole time I was there. Presumably they have other types of weather, but pack sun lotion and consider how the quality of light will affect your photos.
