Icherisheher, or the Old City, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site nestled in the heart of Baku, encapsulating centuries of Azerbaijani history within its ancient walls. For photo-travelers, its maze of alleyways offers a journey back in time, lined with limestone buildings that glow under the golden hour light. Key spots include the iconic Maiden Tower, offering panoramic views of Baku's contrasting skyline, and the intricately carved Palace of the Shirvanshahs, reflecting the pinnacle of Azerbaijani architecture. Capture the essence of local life at the vibrant market squares or by exploring the hidden courtyards. Early mornings or late afternoons are ideal for photography to avoid crowds and capture the soft, natural light. Also, don't miss photographing the ancient caravanserais, which tell tales of the Silk Road era. Remember to respect local customs when photographing residents or religious sites.
