Multi-Day Tours Across Azerbaijan
This two-day independent journey takes you from Baku westward into Azerbaijan, along the historic stops of the Silk Road. The route lets you wander at your own pace, without rushing: you'll see the ancient shrines of Shamakhi, watch coppersmiths at work along the cobbled craft street of Lahij, rise above the clouds on the cable car in mountainous Gabala, and spend the night in the silk city of Sheki. On the second day you'll explore Sheki's Khan's Palace, its caravanserai and the ancient Caucasian Albanian church at Kish. Hotel pick-up and drop-off, comfortable transport and all entrance fees are included — only a driver accompanies you, so you set your own timing at every stop. It's an ideal choice for travellers who want to see Azerbaijan at their own rhythm, without the pressure of a guide.
