The Baku Museum of Miniature Books is the world’s only museum dedicated to miniature books, located in the historic Inner City of Baku.

Visitors can explore a unique collection that showcases the art and craftsmanship of miniature literature.

This historic palace, dating back to the 1400s, consists of five distinct sections, making it a perfect destination for travelers interested in exploring the region's culture, architecture, and traditions. Construction of the main building began in 1411. Visitors can enter through its grand portal and proceed to the Divankhana, a stone pavilion located in the courtyard. The impressive mausoleum, designed by the architect Memar Ali, serves as a burial site. Additionally, guests can visit the Palace Mosque, built in the 1430s, and the bathhouse, which features 26 unique rooms.

The Maiden Tower, a UNESCO World Heritage site known locally as Giz Galasi, stands proudly within Baku's walled city. Constructed in the 12th century, this iconic structure is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the city, rising prominently against the skyline.

Visitors to the Maiden Tower can explore the museum located inside, which offers insights into the history, culture, and revolutionary past of the walled city. For those feeling adventurous, climbing the stairs to the top rewards them with breathtaking views of the Caspian Sea and the surrounding cityscape.

The renowned Azerbaijan Carpet Museum, located in the heart of the country, boasts one of the largest collections of rugs and carpets in the world. Visitors can explore the beautifully curated halls, which are filled with vibrant tapestries that highlight various weaving techniques and materials from Azerbaijan’s rich history.

Since its renovation in 2014, the museum showcases around 10,000 items, extending beyond just carpets. A standout feature of the museum is its collection from the Shusha Museum of History, which includes approximately 600 carpets from a city that was devastated by Armenian forces in the early 1990s. The museum also features a well-stocked bookstore and occasionally hosts public lectures, bringing its fascinating history and vibrant culture to life.

Situated on a boulevard with stunning views of the Caspian Sea, the Baku Ferris Wheel (Baku Eye) provides visitors with breathtaking panoramic vistas of the city and its coastline. Originally constructed for the Eurovision Song Contest held in Azerbaijan in 2012, the Ferris wheel has since become one of the most prominent landmarks in the city, drawing locals and tourists alike.
