Discover the enigmatic side of Baku's Soviet past under the cover of darkness. This unique tour explores the city's 20th-century legacy when the monuments are empty and the atmosphere is thick with history. We'll visit grandiose Soviet-era buildings and monuments, illuminated to project a forgotten power. The journey includes an exclusive visit to a traditional Soviet-era canteen that only opens in the evening, where you'll taste authentic snacks and hear personal stories from a bygone era. We'll contrast this with the vibrant, modern energy of Nizami Street, seeing how the city has reclaimed its nights.
