6 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.

Venture out of the city with trips to Gobustan (Gobustan State Reserve & Mud Volcanoes). There's still lots to do: contemplate the long history of Baku Old City, delve into the distant past at Ateshgah Fire Temple, take an in-depth tour of National Museum of History of Azerbaijan, and stroll through Yanardag.
