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.

Take a break from Baku with a short trip to Gobustan State Reserve in Gobustan, about 1h 5 min away. There's much more to do: examine the collection at Heydar Aliyev Center, steep yourself in history at Baku Old City, delve into the distant past at Ateshgah Fire Temple, and make a trip to Fountains Square.
