Palace of the Shirvanshahs

What an amazing place! The Palace of the Shirvanshahs it's full of history and azer culture. I spent more then an hour to discover this palace. Situated in the heart of Baku, in the middle of the historic old center this place is the best way to see how this amazing land was in the past in the silk period. I highly recommend it to visit if you are in Baku.

Small, but beautiful palace, great view of the old city. Found some accessibility issues often common in historical sites. There is a small museum inside which is worth a view.

Very nice place to visit and immerse in the history. It takes around 40 minutes to visit all sites. Tickets price is good. In the site you can make some photos in the traditional decor. This place is situated in the heart of the old town. I recommend to visit Palace of the Shirvanshahs.

I love visiting UNESCO sites, and the Palace of the Shirvanshahs in Baku is truly special. The architecture, history, and atmosphere inside the old city make it a place that connects you to the past in such a beautiful way.

Entry fee is 15AZN. Once you get inside there is a special museum kind of where guard will block you entering telling ticket is not included as entry price should have been 20AZN. This was not initially mentioned while purchasing the entry ticket. Really not worth visiting for the price. We entered at 6PM on Saturday and palace was closed by 6:50PM. Entry they were allowing almost till 6:30PM.

Beautiful palace worth visiting , nestled in the heart of old town Baku and easily accessible by foot , we spent few hours looking at this incredible place and were very lucky to get informative commentary by one of the security officers who helped us navigate this place more easily , highly recommended for history lovers

This is a nice monument to visit. You don't need a guide. You can walk around it at your leisure and take in the rich history of this place. It's a small palace but well preserved.

If you're into history, this is a must visit on Baku. They have partial payment for the sections in the complex. If you visit the main complex (which I believe is enough for a regular tourist) you pay around 15 manat as a foreign, which is OK. Inside you'll find tombs, court, mosque, yard and pretty much a palace complex overall. There also souvenir shops inside, though items were a bit overpriced. I only reduce 1 star because the information on the labels wasn't enough in my opinion. I'm not sure if it was done intentionally (so that you hire a guide?) or not, but it was very brief what you read about a structure.
