8 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.

Head to Nizami Street/Torgovaya and Museum of Modern Artfor some retail therapy. Step out of the city life by going to Gobustan State Reserve and Yanardag. When in Baku, make a side trip to see Candy Cane Mountains in Khizi, approximately Khizi away. There's much more to do: make a trip to Baku Old City, examine the collection at Heydar Aliyev Center, step into the grandiose world of Palace of the Shirvanshahs, and get the lay of the land with Walking tours.
