Nice place for local sweets and pastries.

A modern French bakery.

This is a very small park besides the old city, which has a very beautiful Fountain.

Since we didn't spend much time at the old city yesterday, we decided to give it more time and attention today. The old city is quite charming, surrounded by a wall, with plenty of the old architectures still intact and quite a few small alley to explore. It is fairly relaxing to stroll around here. We didn't visit the internals of Palace of The Shirvansshahs, as we are no history buff. When we are tired, we took a rest at Seyidli Garden, a very tiny park at a corner of the old city. There is a nice street with a lion art mural.

We snack some local dumpling and pastries at a small unnamed place. Friendly people.

Another small park next to the old city, facing the Nizami Museum of Azerbaijan Literature.

The Russian restaurant is pretty amazing: gorgeous interior and tasty food. The female waitress wears colourful Russian clothing as well. I like the Kvass - fermented beverage from rye bread. Other food are great as well, just that I don't remember their names.
