8 Incredible Things to Do in Ganja, Azerbaijan

8 Best Things to Do in Ganja, Azerbaijan

1. Check Out Shah Abbas Mosque (The Juma Mosque) ❤️ Must Visit

Ganja, through so many conquests by foreign powers throughout its lifespan since the 9th Century, has a plethora of beautiful ancient architectures all around the city, and one of the most prominent ones is the Shah Abbas Mosque, or as some call it, Juma Mosque (Friday Mosque).

Built in the early 16th Century, the Shah Abbas Mosque was constructed by the order of, you guessed it, Shah Abbas, the great ruler of the Safavid dynasty that reigned over this part of the world, as well as Iran and other parts of the Caucasus, in the 16th Century.

The Shah Abbas Mosque is located right at the center of Shah Abbas Square, which has a ton of other beautiful old buildings, making it the perfect place to begin your exploration of Ganja.

2. Visit the Mausoleum and a Turkish Bath at Shah Abbas Square

From the Shah Abbas Mosque, you will find yourself in a large, spacious square surrounded by other beautiful, red-brick buildings that are all worthy of your attention.

Within the Shah Abbas Square, you will find the Chokak Baths, an old Turkish bath boasting several iconic Turkish Bath domes that are hard to miss, as well as the Tomb of Javad Khan, a tomb erected on the grave of Javad Khan, the last Khan of Ganja, which was accidentally discovered during the USSR period while they were trying to build a fountain.

3. Admire the European-Style Architecture of Ganja State Philharmonic Hall

Right by the Shah Abbas Square, you will also find a large, grandiose building reminiscent of some old buildings you might find in Europe. This building is the Ganja State Philharmonic Hall, a concert hall built for orchestral performances in the name of the great Ganja-born composer, Fikret Amirov.

This delicately designed building also has an observation tower attached to it, as well as a beautifully designed fountain decorated with national ornaments right by the entrance.

Although the building may resemble the old buildings of Europe, the Ganja State Philharmonic Hall was actually built in 1991 after they demolished an old Soviet cinema, a remnant of the Soviet era with an ironic backstory.

You see, this Soviet Cinema was built on top of an old historical building that was part of the Khan's Palace, which stood at the exact same spot before it was demolished by Imperial Russia when they took over the city. I guess it all comes full circle now 🙂.

4. Walk by the Javad Khan Pedestrian Street

Right across the road from the Ganja State Philharmonic Hall is the Javad Khan Pedestrian Street, a shopping street where you can find several historical buildings all lined up on both sides of the walking street.

The street runs along the side of Ganja Mall, where you can find souvenir stores, restaurants, and shops to indulge yourself in. You can also go there simply to appreciate the beauty of the historical buildings or to engage in people-watching, as the locals often hang out here in the evening.

5. Visit Heydar Aliyev Square and the City Hall at Sunset

Not too far from Shah Abbas Square, you will find a large space with a huge building and a monument of Heydar Aliyev on the side. This is the Heydar Aliyev Square, and the grand building is the Ganja City Hall.

The Ganja City Hall was constructed during the Soviet era in 1961, and it is a great example of the architectural style the Soviets had mastered during their reign.

The facade of City Hall is an example of the Stripped Classicism architectural style that strips off all the "wasteful" ornaments, leaving us with a simplified but recognizable classical building.

The best time to visit City Hall is at sunset when the sky turns purple and the building is illuminated by lights. You will also find many people out and about in the evening, as it is a popular meeting point among locals.

6. Admire the Beauty of Imamzadeh Complex

After seeing all of the tourist attractions in the Old City of Ganja, it is time to go out and explore what the surrounding area of Ganja has to offer. First and foremost, one of the most significant religious buildings that is popular among pilgrims and shouldn't be missed is the Imamzadeh Complex.

Imamzadeh Complex is located 7km north of Ganja City Center. The complex consists of a mosque, a caravanserai, a cemetery, and funeral monuments, and the most beautiful of all, the mausoleum, all surrounded by a red brick wall.

Within the mausoleum, you will find the grave of one of the sons of Imam Muhammad al-Baqir, the great-grandson of Prophet Muhammad. Hence, it is considered to be one of the most important pilgrimage sites in the city.

You can reach the Imamzadeh Complex via bus #33, or you can hail a taxi via the Bolt app. The taxi should cost somewhere between 4 - 6 AZN one way. The entry to the Imamzadeh Complex is free of charge.

7. Visit Goygol Lake

Located around 50 km south of Ganja, there is a beautiful blue lake situated at the foot of the Lesser Caucasus. The lake stands at 1,556m above sea level, and it is one of the most popular lakes around Ganja for the locals to visit.

Lake Goygol, one of the 8 great lakes around Ganja, is one of the most beautiful sights you can see in Azerbaijan. You can reach the lake by taxi, but the taxi will only go as far as the parking lot, and then you will have to continue on foot.

There is a nice viewpoint at the Goygol Hotel Restaurant overlooking the lake from above, so be sure to walk by there after the taxi drops you off.

You can also walk down along the road to the lake and you will find another cafe/restaurant where you can sit, relax, and enjoy the sight of Lake Goygol up close.

Other than these two viewpoints, there is not much to see around Goygol. Due to the proximity of Goygol National Park to Nagorno Karabakh, which is still technically at war, security has a tight grip over the area, and you cannot go hiking or wander away from the designated area.

Thankfully, there is another lake not too far from Lake Goygol that offers more things to do and has significantly fewer tourists you can visit after Lake Goygol.

Getting from Ganja to Lake Goygol

Lake Goygol is too far and remote for you to successfully use a taxi-hailing app like Bolt. Therefore, your only option is to hire a taxi driver to take you there and back. You can easily organize your ride to Lake Goygol with your accommodation the day before.

I was able to get a taxi to drive me up to Lake Goygol and back for 60 AZN. The taxi driver picked me up at 9 AM, and it took us an hour to reach Lake Goygol. I spent around 4 hours, taking my sweet time at Lake Goygol and Lake Maralgol before coming back down to the city at around 4 PM.

8. Hike Up to Lake Maralgol ☀️ Great Day Trip

Lake Maralgol is actually the highlight of my visit to Lake Goygol. It's a smaller lake located deeper into the national park, and you can only get there by transportation provided by the park through Lake Goygol, so your taxi won't be able to drive you there.

The park mini-bus will take you from Lake Goygol to Lake Maralgol, where you will then have to hike up for about 10 minutes on paved steps. Once you arrive at the top, you will find yourself face-to-face with Lake Maralgol, with the iconic Mount Kapaz looming in the background.

At Lake Maralgol, you will have the opportunity to explore the lake a little bit more than at Lake Goygol. There are a few short walking trails along the lake that you can take to get away from the crowds.

There is also a café on a hill overlooking Lake Maralgol, so you can take your time and rest from the hike. I ended up just walking along the lake to a remote part, found a shade to sit under, and enjoyed my packed lunch.

Unfortunately, you can't swim in any of the lakes here due to security reasons, so there's no need to pack your swim suits. After spending an hour or two at Lake Maralgol, you can catch the mini-bus back to Lake Goygol and return to Ganja with your taxi driver.

Getting from Lake Goygol to Lake Maralgol

To get from Lake Goygol to Lake Maralgol, you can wait for a mini-bus at the bus parking spot located not too far from the Goygol Hotel Restaurant.

The mini-bus runs every 15-30 minutes, and it will cost you 1 AZN per trip. The journey takes about 10 minutes, and the mini-bus will take you to the Lake Maralgol parking lot where you will have to climb up the stairs for about 5 minutes before you arrive at the lake.

The mini-bus works the same way when coming back. Simply go back to the Lake Maralgol parking lot, where they dropped you off before, wait until the mini-bus arrives, and get on one back to Lake Goygol for 1 AZN.

Other Things to Do in Ganja

1. Go Urban Exploring and Discover Abandoned Orthodox Church

When I was in Ganja, through the magical sight of Google Earth, I found an Abandoned Orthodox Church located not too far from Ganja City Center. On your way back from Lake Goygol, you can ask your taxi to stop by this church so that you can go and have a look.

I went ahead and climbed into the church through a window just to check out how massive the church is. The interior really reminded me of the Church of the Ancient Armenian City of Ani in Eastern Turkey.

I could only imagine how beautiful it would be if the city actually renovated the church and turned it into a proper tourist attraction. Too bad it seems like they do not have any interest in restoring what was lost of the remnants of Orthodox Christianity in this part of the world.

2. Visit the Bottle House

Not too far from Ganja Old Town, you will find a peculiar-looking house built with 48,000 glass bottles appropriately named the Bottle House. It is a work of art by Ibrahim Jaffarov, a Ganja resident in the 1960s, who dedicated the house to Ibrahim Jafarov's brother who went missing during World War II. Be sure to drop by there when you are in Ganja.

3. Walk by Shah Abbas Caravanserai

Like most ancient cities along the Silk Road, Ganja also has Caravanserai, a place where merchants of the Silk Road would come and rest from the day's journey.

The building boasts beautiful red-brick architecture that can be seen throughout Ganja. The Caravanserai was actually part of the Khan's Palace, together with the Shah Abbas Mosque and the Chokak Baths, hence the similarity of the exterior.

Unfortunately, the building was being restored, so I was unable to get in. However, the architecture outside is still impressive, and it is worth dropping by if you are around Ganja Old Town.

4. Check Out the Arc of Triumph at Ganja Heyder Aliyev Park

Located on the western outer rim of Ganja city, the Ganja Heydar Aliyev Park is the largest urban park in the city, stretching for 450 hectares. There are fountains, flowers, an amphitheater, museums, and the most impressive of all, the Arc of Triumph located on the northern end of the park.

The park is especially beautiful after sunset, so be sure to drop by around that time. To get there, you can either call a taxi via the Bolt app for 3 AZN, or you can take bus #1 and #4 for 0.3 AZN.

5. Visit Nizami’s Mausoleum

Last but not least, outside of Ganja, there is another great tourist attraction to visit, Nizami Mausoleum, a mausoleum dedicated to the 12th-century Persian poet Nizami Ganjavi.

You can get there by taxi or take bus number 23. Bus number 23 leaves from Ganja Market and it will cost you 0.3 AZN per trip.

Where to Eat and Drink in Ganja?

Sip a Cup of Coffee at Coffeemania Ganja

If you are looking for a nice cafe to take a break from the day of exploration, Coffeemania Ganja is a great cafe to do so. The cafe overlooks Shah Abbas Square from the balcony in Ganja Mall, giving you a great vantage point of the area.

They serve Western-style food like sandwiches, as well as kebabs, together with a ton of drink options ranging from lemonade to coffee. They also have reliable WiFi, making it the perfect place to sit and work on your laptop in Ganja.

When to Visit Ganja, Azerbaijan?

The best time to visit Ganja is from September to October, when the temperature varies between 20 - 25°C, and the colors of autumn are in full swing, spicing up the scenery you will see at Lake Goygol and Lake Maralgol.

Spring (April-May) temperatures are the same as in autumn, but it may rain quite a bit. So, if you prefer to maximize sunny days while you are here, I would recommend avoiding this period.

In the mid-summer months (June - August), it can be a bit hot and dry in Ganja, with temperatures reaching 30°C during the day. However, it is still manageable, and you are likely to experience clear days more frequently compared to other periods.

Winter (November to March) in Ganja is cold and quite inactive, with a temperature of around 5°C during the day and -3°C at night. Therefore, I would avoid visiting Ganja during the wintertime.

How to Get to Ganja, Azerbaijan?

How to Get to Baku?

In order to get to Ganja, you will first have to get to Baku. Thankfully, Baku has a very well-established connection with Istanbul and Ankara, so you can easily fly into the city via Turkish Airlines or Pegasus Airlines.

From the US, there are no direct flights to Baku, but you can fly via Turkish Airlines to Istanbul or Ankara and transfer to Baku from there.

From within Europe, you should be able to fly directly from the UK via Azerbaijan Airlines, from Paris via AirFrance, or from Frankfurt via Lufthansa.

From Asia, there is no direct flight from the Far East to Baku, but the region is pretty well-connected via Turkish Airlines, so you can fly to Baku via Istanbul or Ankara. Other Middle Eastern airlines like Qatar, Emirates, and Etihad Airlines are also great options as well.

To find a cheap flight to Baku, I would recommend that you use Skyscanner or Expedia to look for the cheapest route and schedule so you can compare and pick the best one.

How to Get from Baku to Ganja?

From Baku, you have two options: taking a train or taking a mini-bus (marshrutka) to Ganja. The train in Baku is new and has undergone modernization, making it the most convenient option.

On the other hand, marshrutkas run more often, so if you can't align yourself with the train schedule, marshrutkas are a great option as well. They both take about the same time and are similarly priced, so you can choose whichever mode of transportation fits your itinerary.

Train: The train is the more convenient option of the two, as you will get to travel on their newly modernized European-style trains. To catch the train from Baku to Ganja, you will have to get to Baku Central Railway Station, which is easily accessible via 28 May Metro Station.

There are 2-3 trains per day, with 2 of them traveling at night and one during the day. The night trains will take about 5.5 hours, whereas the day train will take about 4 hours. The price for trains from Baku to Ganja ranges from 7-10 AZN per person.

For an official train schedule and online booking, you can visit Azerbaijan Railways' official website here.

Things to Note: If you are searching for a ticket on the official website, you might have to input the destination name in Azerbaijani language. So, if you can't find Baku and Ganja, try BAKI and GƏNCƏ respectively instead.

Once you arrive in Ganja, the train will drop you off at Ganja Central Station, where you can request a lift on the Bolt app or grab a taxi to Ganja city center.

Bus (marshrutka): If you want to take the marshrutka, you will have to go to Baku International Bus Terminal which is located in the northern part of Baku.

The bus from Baku to Ganja will cost you 7 AZN, and it will take about 4.5 hours to get there. The bus runs from Baku every 30 minutes, starting from 7:00 AM to 11:50 PM.

To get to the bus terminal from the city center, you can either call a taxi via Bolt (Android|iOS) or take the metro to Avtovaghzal Station for 0.3 AZN per trip.

Once you arrive in Ganja, the bus will drop you off at a bus stop by a roundabout outside of the city. From there, you can call Bolt or grab a taxi to your accommodation.

For an official bus schedule and booking, you can check out the official website of Baku International Bus Terminal Complex here.

How to Get from Sheki to Ganja?

If you are currently traveling in Sheki and would like to go to Ganja, you can take a marshrutka directly from Sheki to Ganja without having to backtrack to Baku.

In Sheki, you can grab a marshrutka at Sheki Central Bus Station. There are 5 buses from Sheki to Ganja daily running at 8:00, 8:30, 9:10, 11:50, and 13:30. The bus will cost you 4 AZN per person and the journey will take about 3 hours.

You do not have to buy the bus ticket at the kiosk. Simply go to the marshrutka with a GƏNCƏ sign on the windshield, find a seat, and you can pay the bus driver directly. Make sure to go there early to get a seat as it fills up quickly.

How to Get from Ganja Bus/Train Station to Ganja City Center?

The Ganja Bus Stop and Ganja Central Station are both located outside of the city center, and the best way to get to the city center is to use the app Bolt and request a ride from there.

A ride from a bus/train station with Bolt will cost you about 2-3 AZN, and it will take around 15 minutes to get to the city center.

How to Get Around Ganja, Azerbaijan?

The majority of the tourist attractions are within walking distance from Shah Abbas Square, so you can visit most of them on foot. Some places, like Imamzadeh Complex, are too far from the city center, and you will have to take a taxi instead.

As mentioned earlier, the best way to travel around the city with a taxi is to use the app Bolt and request a ride from there. The price can range from 2-6 AZN depending on the distance.

To get to Goygol and Maralgol lakes, you will have to hire a taxi driver to drive you there and back. For more information, check out the Getting from Ganja to Lake Goygol section.

How Many Days to Spend in Ganja, Azerbaijan?

To see most of the interesting sights in Ganja, I would recommend that you spend at least one full day here. If you have time and would like to take it slow, 2 full days are also recommended.

Day 0: On the day you arrive, you can spend the rest of the day exploring Shah Abbas Square, Ganja Philharmonic, Javad Khan Street, and Heydar Aliyev Square, all of which are located in the same area.

Before the day ends, talk to your accommodation and ask them to organize a ride to Lake Goygol the next day.

Day 1: Spend the entire day exploring Lake Goygol and Lake Maralgol. It should take you about 3-5 hours for the trip. If you have enough time left in the evening, you can also visit the Imamzadeh Complex.

Day 2 (optional): If you didn't have enough time on the first day, you can move the Imamzadeh Complex to the second day, along with visiting Nizami’s Mausoleum and all the activities listed under Other Things to Do in Ganja.

How Much Money Do I Need for Ganja, Azerbaijan?

From the itinerary above, we can calculate the minimum amount of money you will be spending in Ganja for one day as follows:

Accommodation: 8 USD x 2 nights = 16 USD (27.20 AZN)

Food: A meal in Ganja costs about 5 AZN, so for one day, you can expect to spend about 25 AZN per person on food, including dinner on the day of your arrival and breakfast on the day of your departure.

Transportation: For transportation, the taxi will charge you about 60 AZN for a round trip to Lake Goygol. From Lake Goygol, you will have to pay 2 AZN for another round trip to Lake Maralgol. Together with a round trip taxi ride from the train/bus station on your arrival/departure date (2 AZN per trip), you will be paying a total of 66 AZN for transportation.

Activities: For activities, you will pay 3 AZN to enter Goygol National Park, and that is it.

Total Budget: 121.20 AZN (71.3 USD)

Is it Safe in Ganja, Azerbaijan?

Azerbaijan is generally very safe, and Ganja is no exception, so there is nothing to worry about. Ganja, like most of Azerbaijan, doesn't get many foreign tourists, so you are unlikely to encounter any bad behavior or scams while you are traveling there.

That said, Lake Goygol is bordering the disputed area of Nagorno Karabakh, and they take security very seriously in that area, so do not go and wander off outside of the designated trail.

Which tourist SIM card is best for Azerbaijan?

Update: If your phone supports eSIM, I highly recommend checking out Airalo, a global eSIM marketplace. It allows you to stay connected affordably while traveling in Ganja, Azerbaijan without having to switch out your physical SIM card.

Gone are the days when you needed to scramble to find a local SIM card at an airport upon arrival. You can purchase an eSIM before your arrival, and you'll be good to go. If your phone doesn't support eSIM, here is how you can get a local SIM card in Ganja, Azerbaijan:

Ganja is quite reliable when it comes to finding reliable WIFI. Your accommodation should have fast working WIFI for you to use. If not, you can always find a cafe (Coffeemania is highly recommended) in Ganja Mall and use their free WIFI.

If you want to stay connected all the time while you are in Ganja, or if you are looking to use the taxi-hailing app, Bolt, I would recommend that you get a local SIM card.

Azercell is a great option if you are looking to buy a local SIM card. You can buy one right at the airport in Baku when you arrive. The prices range from 29 AZN (1 GB) to 65 AZN (unlimited data), depending on the amount of data you need.

I would recommend that you get around 5 GB of data (40 AZN), especially if you are planning to travel further in Azerbaijan after Baku.

What to Pack for Ganja, Azerbaijan?

As you may already know, I am an advocate of light traveling, and indeed, packing light for a journey like this is a unique art form. Here are some packing tips for your upcoming trip to Ganja, Azerbaijan:

• Walking/Hiking Shoes: With all the walking and possible hiking during your travel, a comfortable pair of shoes is a must. I recommend the Timberland 3-Eye Classic Boat Shoes that are my go-to pair for long strolls and hikes.
• Breathable Shirts: Given the potential for hot weather, pack a few breathable shirts for your outdoor adventures.
• Shorts/Jeans: Anticipate lots of walking during your travels? Be sure to pack some breathable shorts and a pair of Levi's jeans for when the weather cools. For women, leggings are excellent for both hot and cold climates, so consider packing some as well.
• Fleece Jacket: For colder weather, layering is the key, and a fleece jacket makes an excellent insulating layer. I recommend the Columbia Steens Mountain Fleece (for women).
• Outer Shell Jacket: An outer shell jacket is great for windy or rainy conditions. I highly recommend the Columbia Watertight Jacket (for women). It's lightweight, breathable, and even comes in a cool orange color.
• Microfiber Towel: A Microfiber towel is the ideal backpacker's towel due to its lightness, quick drying, and compressibility.
• Camera: You should also pack a good camera for your trip so that you can capture all the beautiful experiences you might have. I recommend the Sony a7R V camera together with the Sony 24-70mm f2.8 GM II lens, which is probably the highest-performance camera and lens combination you can get right now.
• Power Bank: Keep your electronics charged on the go with a 20,000+ mAh Power Bank.
• Water Bottle: The Hydro Flask Trail Water Bottle is a great insulated water bottle to have with you in cities or on hiking trails. It is lightweight and can keep your water cold or warm for more than 12 hours. It's a total game-changer.
• Universal Adapter: You'll need just one universal adapter to plug in your electronics in any country you visit.
• Packing Cubes: Packing Cubes will help you save space in your backpack and keep all your belongings organized.
• Daypack: The Langly Alpha Globetrotter is my go-to everyday camera backpack. It's large enough to carry all my travel gear, and it comes with plenty of slots and pouches. Plus, it's stylish as hell!
• Large Backpack: You will need a large backpack to carry all of your stuff. I recommend the Osprey Atmos AG 65L backpack. With excellent weight distribution and a lifetime guarantee, you can't go wrong with Osprey.
