Arrival in Baku. Meet and greet at Heydar Aliyev International Airport with a professional Russian-speaking guide.
Our tour begins at Highland Park, where you will enjoy a panoramic view of Baku city and its bay from the highest point of the capital. You will also have a great opportunity to closely observe the most glamorous complex of Baku – the Flame Towers, consisting of three buildings. The towers are fully covered with LED screens reflecting moving visual images visible from different parts of the city. At night, the futuristic towers appear as real flames, confirming the legend that Baku is the “City of Fire.”
Then we descend to Baku Boulevard to visit the International Mugham Center, designed in the shape of the national musical instrument – the tar. Nearby you will see the Azerbaijan National Carpet Museum, designed by Austrian architect Franz Janz and shaped like a rolled carpet.
Walk across decorative stone bridges in the so-called “Little Venice,” a charming water town with small islands and gondolas moving through calm canals.
Afterwards, enter the Old City (Icherisheher), which takes us from 21st-century Baku back to the 12th century. Icherisheher, known as “the Fortress,” is a unique historical and architectural reserve in the center of Baku.
