The capital is blooming and prettier. It has turned into a metropolis in which the old and the new coexist beautifully. Baku is changing its style - you will see that several grandiose buildings with futuristic architecture were built in the city, but it also doesn’t refuse the good old “classics”. For example, the Government House is a free improvisation on the Shirvanshahs Palace, and the new streets of BakuWhiteCity are very reminiscent of the French quarters. At the end of the program, you will find a welcome dinner in the restaurant-museum Shirvanshah.

Well-fed and satisfied, we will go on an excursion to the Heydar Aliyev Center - a symbol of “white” Baku, a cultural center. In 2014, he was shortlisted by the London Design Museum as a nominee for the Designs of the Year Award in the Architecture category. And in April of the same year, the project of architect Zaha Hadid was recognized as the best.
