We’ve been to Ganja twice, and still had things left to see). Of the places I personally visited, I really liked the direction toward Goygol — on the way it’s worth stopping by the German quarter, it’s quite atmospheric in itself, there you should visit the Lutheran church, the wine cellar, and most importantly — the Viktor Klein Museum! обязательно with a guide. The bureau is located opposite the church, but you’ll need a translator. In Ganja in general there are far fewer people who speak Russian. We were lucky to get an amazing bureau employee Murad, but we had a translator–taxi driver with us. The lake was already accessible in May, but Maralgol was closed, we only managed to get there the following year in summer. Be sure to visit the Gates of Ganja and the Mausoleum of Nizami. It’s free, but the staff there are so… passionate about what they do, they really зарядят you with their love for the city). Sheki is also great, especially the caravanserai, there’s a shop with real scarves at the silk factory, the quality is better than what we bought in Baku.
