9 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.

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Philharmonic Park and Heydar Mosque. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Baku: Gobustan (Mud Volcanoes & Gobustan State Reserve), Masazir Lake (in Masazir) and Yeddi Gumbaz Mausoleum (in Shamakhi). The adventure continues: steep yourself in history at Baku Old City, pause for some photo ops at Monument to Richard Sorge, see the interesting displays at Heydar Aliyev Center, and play a few rounds at Dreamland Golf Club.
