Nizami metro stansiyası
We can pick up the guests from the hotel or Nizami Metro station which is at the center of Baku and near all hotels around. Your guide will be waiting at these points with the sign of Visit Land Azerbaijan.
Tour starts at agreed time from the meeting point or hotel. From Baku to Lankaran is 3 hours driving distance. Our First stop is Circular Castle & Old Prison (Round Tower or Zindan Tower). Zindan Tower was constructed as part of Lankaran fortress and was a crucial element in the city's defense system. Located right past the small bridge leading into the center of the city, this old circular building is hidden by enormous acacias and fig trees -- with only the top tower visible, where branches stick out of broken windows. In pre-Soviet years, up to the early 20th century, Zindan Tower was used as a prison where Joseph Stalin was detained. Though, the building is no longer open to visitors, the guests can see the building from outside at closer range. Guests spend here around 15–20 minutes.

Khan Palace (Lankaran Museum of History and Ethnography)
The second destination is Lankaran Khan's House: The History Museum. The distance from Zindan Tower to this point is only 5 minutes by car. The Khan's House in Lankaran is a building erected in 1913 by order of Mir Ahmed Khan, a descendant of the Talysh Khan Mirmustafa Khan, in honor of his wife Tugra Khan. The Lankaran Khan's Palace was built in 1913 by architects invited from Europe by order of Mir Ahmed Khan, a descendant of the Khan. All the construction materials used here were brought by ship from Baku. This magnificent building was the first multi storey structure in Lankaran. The facade of the building is adorned with mythological figures. It was among the first in the region to feature electric lighting and a heating system, marking a symbol of innovation even before the revolution. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore and appreciate the site for about 30 minutes, immersing themselves in its unique historical atmosphere.

Lankaran has long been renowned for its high-quality, fragrant tea, and tea cultivation began to flourish here in the 1930s, soon becoming a defining symbol of the region. Upon entering the city, visitors are greeted by the impressive giant samovar monument, a tribute to Lankaran’s proud tea-growing heritage. Guests are scheduled to spend roughly 30 minutes at this site, providing an ideal opportunity to observe the tea production process, explore the plantation, and immerse themselves in the serene green landscapes infused with the scent of freshly processed leaves.

The environment exhibits a microclimate conducive to the growth of these fast-growing perennial grasses, evoking a landscape reminiscent of East Asian bamboo forests. Participants are allotted a 30-minute interval for systematic observation and examination of the structural, ecological and phenological characteristics of the bamboo habitat.
