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.

Change things up with a short trip to Gobustan State Reserve in Gobustan (about 1h 5 min away). There's still lots to do: see the interesting displays at Heydar Aliyev Center, explore the different monuments and memorials at Alley of Martyrs, take in panoramic vistas at Flame Towers, and explore the striking landscape at Yanardag.

To find traveler tips, reviews, where to stay, and tourist information, refer to the Baku trip planner.
