7 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.

Get out of town with these interesting Baku side-trips: Gobustan (Gobustan State Reserve & Mud Volcanoes) and Sheki Karvansaray (in Sheki). There's still lots to do: don't miss a visit to Baku Old City, delve into the distant past at Ateshgah Fire Temple, take in panoramic vistas at Flame Towers, and take in the dramatic natural features at Yanardag.
