Getting There
The reserve is located a 30-min drive from Baku, in the village of Gala. Buses go in the direction of the village, from where you will need to take a taxi to reach the reserve, but if you want a comfortable ride, you can taxi a taxi from Baku directly to the reserve.
What to Expect
This open-air museum offers a wide range of activities – you can visit the on-site museum-fortress, take a carpet-weaving master-class, walk along the underground passages dating back to the medieval era, visit the local zoo and even watch how creative minds make art exhibits from different types of rubbish in a museum called “From Waster to Art”.
