Palace of the Shirvanshahs

This is a very interesting royal residence where historical stories are hidden inside. In houses many exhibitions about traditional musical instruments, Throne hall, mosque, royal bath house, etc. the complete model of the Old Town are also exhibits here. It is a great experience visiting this place.

Beautiful place. I took the 3 combo ticket (Maiden tower, palace and the underground baths). The palace offers a nice view of the city and it is located all the way up in the old city. Would advise folks not to go during the afternoon since the sun (even for early September) was quite a bit much so I can only imagine how hot it must be in summers here. Pro tip: wear a hat/cap and carry water at all times to stay hydrated

I do not think that what is on offer matches the almost 10 USD entry fee this museum charges, for two reasons. Firstly, it is simply not very well curated. Lightning of any sort is hard to come by, making most exhibits look dark. The palace is newly renovated meaning that practically everything you see is a copy of the imagined original. There are not many items to look at as well. Secondly, there are plenty better and longer museum experiences all around Baku for much cheaper or outright free. Just my two cents on the issue, unless you love your specific Medieval history, seek enjoyment elsewhere.

This palace is centrally located and close to many historical sites. You can visit the museum by paying an entrance fee. The view of the city from the palace in the evening is extraordinary.

Pictures cannot do justice to the beauty of this place and the stunning architecture. Also, I've been to fair few museums around the world and this was one of the better designed ones, with a lot of useful information nicely presented. Note: The ticket includes the entire complex with the palace, divanshah building, mosque, tomb of the royals and tomb of Sayid Yahya

Old palace of a family... Maintained very well , its comes inside the old city Baku. Better buy ticket as combo from maiden tower. 3 attractions (maiden tower , palace of shrivanshahs and khazina museum) 38 mt/ head. Kids as combo above 7 year 18.5 mt. Below 7 year is free.. Historical place well maintained Closes at 1800.

It was a very good experience to visit the Palace of Shirvanshahs. It was just behind the metro station and near Nizami street. On the way to the Palace miniature books museum is also a very interesting place and there are also small shops of souvenirs. The price was good and cheap. One thing must note you should reach there before 5:00 pm. At 6:00 pm the Palace doors closed. But you can enjoy a small park outside the palace.

A visit to the old city in Baku would not be a property visit without viewing this. The only reason it is not five star is because the place was sacked following the Russian invasion years ago. Note that there are different levels of tickets as some limit the rooms you can visit
