The Maiden Tower is located on the outskirts of the Old Town, near the embankment. It is easy to see from the embankment and find it due to its convenient location. The name of the tower is associated with an ancient legend about a girl who threw herself off it. The guide told us that in our time, local girls inspired by this legend also committed suicide by throwing themselves from the tower because of unhappy love. In this regard, the authorities decided to install fences on the observation deck of the tower to prevent such cases.
In order to climb to the top of the tower, you need to walk up an atmospheric staircase with worn stone steps. The view of the city and the sea from above is simply amazing! :)

Azerbaijan is beautiful ) this Tower is located opposite the boulevard with a gorgeous historical location right from there you can enter the old town of Icharishahar 🔥 there are sooo many interesting things there you can walk all day along the narrow historical streets there are a lot of good restaurants the food is very tasty ( a little greasy ) .
A historical place shrouded in legend. Nearby is a small location with fragrant rose bushes, near which there are many girls taking selfies and benches where you can rest after the tour.
number 1 to visit in Baku.I have been there many times, be sure to go up to the observation deck, be careful when climbing, the passages are narrow and not high. After visiting here, you will learn a beautiful legend about this place.
15 manats per person for a lift without an elevator. There are exhibits inside the tower. But the information is in English and Azerbaijani. There is a beautiful view upstairs. For the sake of this kind, you definitely need to get fat. And the history of the tower will be told by a guide on earth.
Место, куда идут все туристы. Визитная карточка, часть ансамбля Старого Города. Обязательно к посещению, по окрестностям можно бродить полдня, не меньше. Добираться лучше на метро, в Баку безумные пробки. Рядом масса сувенирных лавочек и кафе. Лучше с утра, потом очень людно.
It offers a magnificent view of the city and the sea. It is better to visit in the evening when the sun sets. It's windy. There is a history exhibit inside the tower. A good place
One of the most cozy places in the city, and the breeze will blow as it should, and quietly stand next to it. From the top there is a beautiful view, but I liked it better without fences!
The building, located on the outskirts of the Old City, can be said to be the hallmark of Baku. The tower intrigues with its unusual structure. It is worth going inside to assess the thickness of the walls and the internal structure. To visit, it is better to choose the morning hours, when there are not many tourists, the stairs inside are narrow, for one person. From the upper platform you can admire the Old Town, although the view is not as impressive as from the Upland Park, and there is a strong wind.
The tower stands in the same place, the ruins are also present. The tower is like a tower, the place is historical and nothing more. We walked around and looked at it, it was interesting. It doesn't make sense to climb the tower, it's better to climb the cable car, there are more and better views.
The name maiden tower is just a fake, an invention...
There's a glass fence against suicides.
It is not worth visiting for the cost of an entrance ticket (15 manats per person), the views from the observation deck in the park are much better. It's not worth it.
The entire observation room is enclosed with glass ~1.8-1.9 meters
Everything is beautiful in the old town. Admission for tourists is five times more expensive than for locals. They didn't go up, those who were there went down and spat. The ratio of the price and what you saw does not match.
An ancient tower. It is located in the old town. Young men jostle around and offer excursions. Entrance to the tower is paid - for foreigners 15 manats without a tour.
Admission from foreign adult tourists is 15 manat.I really didn't like the fact that the locals climb without queuing at the checkout and they are unconditionally served, but you are standing.There is an observation deck at the top of the tower, but honestly, the view from the Upland Park is much better
In November 2023, admission for adult foreigners cost 15 manats. With a ticket, go to the tower and climb the steps to the observation deck yourself. From there, an overview of the whole city. I didn't like that the plastic walls are very high and the photos are cloudy. But on the other hand, safety is above all. Therefore, I had to be sophisticated and photograph the views in the crack between these plastic walls. I advise you to rise at sunset.
Beauty, antiquity, contrast with modern Baku, top views of the surroundings of the old city and Baku in general....but....the entrance is 15 manats for tourists, 4 manats for locals, why such a difference is unclear, and it is not worth visiting such money, not a single observation room, but it is worth going there because of it, it is not worth such money
It is impossible to visit Baku and not visit the Maiden Tower. It's the same as not trying the local cuisine! Despite the fact that it does not make a strong impression from the inside, it offers a beautiful view, and in itself a very interesting structure. Which has no analogues
Very interesting.I love this place, history, facts, a great overview of the whole city, and I advise you, be sure to visit this place, good luck to everyone
I definitely recommend the old town for walking in Baku. The Maiden Tower is in the oldest city, it is definitely worth climbing, the entrance ticket is inexpensive, and the views are stunning, both for the whole city and the Caspian Sea!
They were not allowed on the observation deck because of the wind. Apparently this happens a lot here. And it's not very interesting without a playground. Only for a "tick" you can visit. And if there is not much else to do.
We didn't find anything interesting. To walk the whole old town at a slow pace is a maximum of an hour with lunch)))) there are guides everywhere, a lot in Russian, the excursions are mediocre....
An unusually beautiful place inside the historical city of Icheri Sheher, you are mentally loaded into history when you are there ...
I advise guests of the country to visit this place)
The most beautiful place. Completely preserved, not ruins. There are several cafes and restaurants nearby.
There are small souvenir shops around.
We walked with the children, they really liked it.
The Maiden Tower is one of the main symbols of Baku. It is located near the Old Town and baths, opposite Primorsky Boulevard. As usual, a legend is connected with her about a girl who fell from a Tower, since her father wanted to marry her to an unloved person. You can climb up, but we didn't go up.
I was there back in 1986-1989. I liked everything. Especially the old town and the maiden tower. There is also a funicular for 5 kopecks, but I understand that it is no longer there. The salt lakes and the sea are just fine. In the markets, you could just eat by trying the products. The ratio was five. I don't even know how it is now.
Like it. Nearby you can buy souvenirs at reasonable prices. Have tea on the veranda in a cafe with a view of the tower.

Be sure to visit the old city in Baku. In addition to the atmosphere, there are also a huge number of restaurants and shops. You can buy any souvenirs. I recommend the local pomegranate wine!
I really liked the Old Town. It is a pity that there was little time (only a few hours) to get acquainted with the beautiful Baku. I was upset by the attitude of the border service due to the presence of a mark in the passport about crossing the Armenian border.
We advise you not just to climb the maiden tower, but to take a guide. Moreover, we got a young, but with an education guide. Who really told her story. A clear and memorable digression.
One of the symbols of Baku. Located at the entrance to the Old Town. A few years ago, it was possible to climb for 10 manats (local currency) up the spiral staircase to the observation deck to see part of the beautiful panorama of the city.
The Maiden Tower is a visiting card of the old city of Baku. A colorful architectural structure, you can go upstairs for a fee, a beautiful view of the city.
The Maiden Tower is a historical structure. There are many legends connected with it ! And Baku can and should be visited, as there are many historical places in it that go back centuries!!!
