Leave the city for the green foothills of the Caucasus. We stop at the Juma Mosque in Shamakhi, visit the Seven Beauties waterfall near Vandam, ride the Tufandag cable car for mountain views and, when lakeside access is open, stop at Nohur Lake.
It is a long scenic drive (about 3–4 hours each way), so we start early and take breaks along the way.
