Baku blends ancient history with striking modern design. Start in the UNESCO-listed Old City (Icherisheher), where narrow lanes lead to the Maiden Tower and the Palace of the Shirvanshahs.
Above the city rise the iconic Flame Towers, best seen at night when they light up the skyline. Walk the seaside Boulevard, ride the funicular to Highland Park, and enjoy sweeping views of the Caspian Sea.
End your day in the buzzing Fountains Square, surrounded by cafes, shops, and beautifully restored architecture.
