4 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.

Your day by day itinerary now includes Nizami Street/Torgovaya, Highland Park, Palace of the Shirvanshahs, and other attractions you added. Step off the beaten path and head to Philharmonic Park and Bibi-Heybat Mosque. Go for a jaunt from Baku to Gobustan to see Gobustan State Reserve about 1h 5 min away. There's lots more to do: steep yourself in history at Baku Old City, appreciate the history behind Sculpture Girl on Bench, get to know the fascinating history of Neftchilar Avenue, and take in the architecture and atmosphere at Archangel Michael Russian Church.
