14 days in Baku Itinerary

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.

Step off the beaten path and head to Nature & Wildlife Tours and Museum of Miniature Books. Change things up with these side-trips from Baku: Candy Cane Mountains (in Khizi), Mardakan Fortress (in Mardakan) and Beshbarmag Mountain (in Siyazan). There's still lots to do: stroll around Philharmonic Park, see the interesting displays at National Museum of Azerbaijan Literature, shop like a local with Ali Shamsi Studio, and appreciate the history behind Sculpture Girl on Bench.

In February in Baku, expect temperatures between 9°C during the day and 3°C at night. Finish your sightseeing early on the 15th (Sat) so you can travel back home.
