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.

Explore Baku's surroundings by going to Masazir Lake (in Masazir) and Gobustan State Reserve (in Gobustan). There's still lots to do: see the interesting displays at Heydar Aliyev Center, make a trip to Fountains Square, contemplate the long history of Baku Old City, and take in the dramatic natural features at Yanardag.
