This tour reveals the real soul of Baku — a city where glass skyscrapers reflect the domes of centuries-old mosques, and narrow medieval streets open into grand European-style boulevards.

We’ll explore the Old City (Icherisheher) with its UNESCO-listed Maiden Tower and Shirvanshah Palace, then step into the modern world of Flame Towers, Heydar Aliyev Center, and Baku Boulevard. Along the way, you’ll learn how Persian, Ottoman, Russian, and Soviet influences shaped the architecture, cuisine, and spirit of this unique capital.
