5 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.

Bring the kids along to Baku Old City and Heydar Aliyev Center. Get out of town with these interesting Baku side-trips: Dalga Beach Aquapark Resort (in Mardakan) and Gobustan State Reserve (in Gobustan). The adventure continues: squeeze the most out of the city with City Tours, make a trip to Fountains Square, see the interesting displays at Museum of Miniature Books, and take an in-depth tour of National Museum of History of Azerbaijan.
