Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Lighthouse
Lankaran Lighthouse
The Lankaran Lighthouse is a landmark of urban heritage, and its exterior observation does not imply access to the tower or technical spaces.
House museum
Mir Ahmad Khan’s House
The house of Mirahmad Khan presents urban residence architecture and local collections according to the open spaces. Confirm the conditions with the museum.
National park
Hirkan National Park
Hirkan protects Hyrcanian forest habitats in southern Azerbaijan. Arrange routes and permits with the manager; wildlife sightings are never guaranteed.
Historic tower
Lankaran Round Tower
The round tower belongs to the defensive heritage of Lankaran. Restorations and reuses must be distinguished from its old state and functions.
