Timeline
17:01
Stop at Khan Wine House for a tasting. The owner shares the history of Azerbaijani wine and serves samples from various regions. It is just a short walk from the Caravansarai, so you can arrive with plenty of time before the sun goes down.
17:26
Walk 4 minutes northeast to the Great sunset viewpoint. This spot offers a clear line of sight for the sun setting toward the WSW. Get there early to secure a good position without the crowd.
17:46
Watch the sunset. The sun dips below the horizon around 17:46, casting long shadows over the historic district. Stay for the golden light that lingers for about 40 minutes after the sun disappears.
18:26
Return to Khan Wine House to unwind. The tasting room is open late enough to enjoy a final glass while reflecting on the view. It is a natural end to an evening centered on history and light.
Local tip
The Caravansarai itself closes at 13:00, so this plan focuses on the exterior and the surrounding area after hours. Khan Wine House is open for evening visits, making it the perfect anchor for a sunset tour.
Check before you go
