Known as one of the most crowded cities of Azerbaijan in the Caucasus region, Ganja is an ancient city with structures from the fifth century. Ganja, the second largest city in Azerbaijan, contains many historical sites such as the tomb of the famous Central Asian poet Nizami. This city opens its doors to travelers from the world with Ganja International Airport.

Although Ganja is among the most crowded cities of Azerbaijan, the surface area is much smaller and the population ratio is quite low compared to many cities. The city center is the area around the square hosting ​​the statue of Leader Heydar Allyvev. This statue is surrounded by state buildings as well as a large park.

There are not many public transport vehicles that serve in the city. The most economical way to go around the city is to take a bus station from the central bus station close to the city center or to travel with minibuses that provide transportation services to many parts of the city. Unfortunately, trolleybuses and trams, which have a long history in urban transportation, do not operate today.
