10 days in Ganja Itinerary

Famous as the birthplace of legendary poet Nizami, Ganja is a truly ancient city still bearing traces of the myriad kingdoms and empires that ruled over it in the past.

Change things up with these side-trips from Ganja: Shamkir (The Museum of History and Ethnography & Sharg Ulduzu Wines), Turkish Baths (in Naftalan) and Sheki (Sheki Karvansaray, Sheki Fortress, &more). Spend the 13th (Sun) exploring at Lake Goygol. The adventure continues: don't miss a visit to Nizami Ganjavi Mausoleum, take in the spiritual surroundings of Shah Abbas Mosque, walk around Heydar Aliyev Park, and shop like a local with Javad Khan Street.
