Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan, a country of great culture and interesting history, bounded by the Caspian Sea and the Caucasus Mountains, across Asia and Europe. The capital, Baku, is known for its medieval walls. The city centre houses the palace of the Shirvanshahs, a 15th-century royal resort, and the centuries-old stone Maiden Tower that dominates the city's skyline.

The Best of Baku 5 days tour starts the minute you arrive, you will be covering Azerbaijans best attractions including
National Flag City, the Mountain of Flames, a rural Gubastan Tour, and lots more fun places. Baku city tour is perfect to
explore the culture of Azerbaijan, and includes an Old City tour combined with popular squares and landmarks. The Baku City
Tour will begin at the Highland Park, where you will get a glimpse of architecture and get more information on history of Old
City.

On Baku sightseeing tour, you will see it all and get an understanding about hospitality, culture, and traditions of
Azerbaijani people. If you are looking for some of the best places to visit in Azerbaijan, Baku, then this nature-based
getaway must be visited. You will be happy to hear that although Baku has its fair share of wonderful gems, places to visit
outside this city are nothing short of amazing.

Baku Beach and the waterfront are where people who are visiting Baku go, and you will find plenty of activities to enjoy
here, including tea shops and vintage coffee shops, which are ideal to kill an afternoon or to splurge on classic beachside
treats such as ice cream made on-site. Stretching more than five kilometers down the coast from the national flag square to
Baku International Port, Baku Seaside Park and Boulevard is an ideal spot for taking in the waterfront attractions that
Azerbaijan has to offer.

A fantastic option is to visit Little Venice during an amazing Baku Night Tour, or during the Baku City Tour all day (which
even includes traditional Azerbaijani food). Mud volcanoes are another fantastic site to see close to Baku, and are included
as well as places that you will be visiting on a tour. Because of that, the iconic Flame Towers should not be missed while
you are in Baku, and any guide would bring you there after seeing Gobustans rock art (on the same day tour). You can book a
day trip on Viator, which is actually a pretty good way to see the internationally renowned Flame Towers.

The tour that I would recommend going on is a tour of Gobustan and Absheron (all-inclusive) that takes you from Baku to
Gobustan, and also the Mud Volcano, Yanar Dag (Burning Mount) and Ateshgah Flame Temple, for about 50 USD per person
including lunch. Since most tours you will get from Baku usually includes Yanar Dag along with Gobustan, Fire Temple, and Mud
Volcanoes, you will need to decide yourself whether or not you want to pay the 9 USD for entry. Gobustan National Park is one
of the MUST-see places in any trip to Azerbaijan, and the best way to get there (there is no public transportation, sadly) is
by taking a tour. A nice 20-minute walk from the old town will bring you to the magnificent Heydar Mosque.
