A truly contemporary city criss-crossed by history, Baku offers everything from the modern elegance of the Flame Towers to the medieval UNESCO-listed Old City at its core.

Venture out of the city with trips to Gobustan (Mud Volcanoes & Gobustan State Reserve). Dedicate the 26th (Sun) to wine at some of the top wineries in the area. And it doesn't end there: see the interesting displays at Heydar Aliyev Center, take in panoramic vistas at Flame Towers, contemplate the long history of Baku Old City, and explore the ancient world of Ateshgah Fire Temple.
