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.

Bring the kids along to Baku Old City and Flame Towers. Get out of town with these interesting Baku side-trips: Dalga Beach Aquapark Resort (in Mardakan) and Gobustan State Reserve (in Gobustan). And it doesn't end there: examine the collection at Heydar Aliyev Center, explore the different monuments and memorials at Alley of Martyrs, don't miss a visit to Baku Boulevard, and delve into the distant past at Ateshgah Fire Temple.
