The City of Eternal Flames, the City of Winds

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 out of Baku with an excursion to Gobustan State Reserve in Gobustan--about 1h 5 min away. Next up on the itinerary: steep yourself in history at Baku Old City, see the interesting displays at Azerbaijan National Carpet Museum, take an in-depth tour of National Museum of History of Azerbaijan, and enjoy breathtaking views from Flame Towers.

To see maps, photos, where to stay, and more tourist information, you can read our Baku trip itinerary builder.

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to Baku is an approximately 8-hour flight. You can also drive. Due to the time zone difference, you'll lose 1 hour traveling from Riyadh to Baku. Traveling from Riyadh in March, expect Baku to be cooler, temps between 13°C and 5°C. Finish up your sightseeing early on the 23rd (Mon) so you can travel back home.

A holiday in Azerbaijan allows intrepid travelers to discover a history-steeped country sitting at the crossroads of Southeastern Europe and Southwest Asia, an area once controlled by a succession of ancient empires. With its dual Eurasian character, Azerbaijan remains a highly intriguing destination, with tourism one of the top contributors to the country's booming economy. Many begin their tour of Azerbaijan in World Heritage-listed Baku, a cosmopolitan city boasting innovative architecture and a well-preserved historic core. A short drive out of this thriving capital, you can explore timeless villages surrounded by thick orchards and flanked by the majestic Caucasus Mountains.
