5 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.

Change things up with a short trip to Gobustan State Reserve in Gobustan (about 1h 5 min away). And it doesn't end there: steep yourself in history at Baku Old City, delve into the distant past at Ateshgah Fire Temple, don't miss a visit to Highland Park, and take in the dramatic natural features at Yanardag.
