    Silk Factory

    Walk from the town center to the Silk Factory. The building is closed for tours in the evening, but the adjoining store is open. Browse the fine silk items at lower prices than the bazaar. The factory grounds are quiet and the late afternoon light hits the old walls beautifully.

    Sunset Viewpoint and City Panorama

    Walk 24 minutes from the Silk Factory to the Sunset Viewpoint and City Panorama. This is your spot for the golden light. Face the WSW to catch the sun dipping below the horizon over the town. It is a short climb, so arrive with time to spare.

  3. 17:24

    Hunters corner

    Head 10 minutes south to Hunters corner near Baxtiyar Vahabzade Parki. This regional restaurant is open 24/7, making it a reliable choice for dinner after the sun has set. Enjoy a hearty meal while the city lights begin to twinkle.

  4. 17:49

    SM Beer Pub

    Finish the night 15 minutes away at SM Beer Pub, also near Baxtiyar Vahabzade Parki. Open 24/7, this is the place to unwind with a drink after dinner. The vibe is relaxed and it is open late if you wish to stay longer.

Local tip
