The main sights of Baku in one day - difficult, but possible!

As part of the unique comprehensive Baku City Tour tour, I tried to provide you with a balanced opportunity to see all the key sights of central Baku. On the example of contrasting the past and the present, the periods of development of Baku from ancient times to the present day and the transformation of the city into one of the most attractive megacities of the planet will be highlighted. The route begins with a walking tour of the historical and architectural reserve "ICHERI Sheher" from the central gate with a view of historical and architectural monuments: the Maiden Tower, the residence of the Shirvanshahs, the Karavan Saraev, religious buildings ... Further, in the section of Baku of the era of the First Oil Boom of the mid-19th and early 20th centuries, we will go beyond the fortress walls and make the transition along the street. Istiglal, formerly Nikolaevskaya, inspected the majestic buildings built with funds and donations from oil magnates of the past. In the third car part of the tour with a length of 25 km. Baku of the 21st century you get acquainted with the modern appearance of the city, its fantastic projects aimed at the future.

If you did not see Baku, what did you see? It is from these lines that the poem of Robert Rozhdestvensky, who fell in love with Baku from his first arrival, begins. Perhaps these lines were born during a visit to the observation room in the Nagorny Park of the capital from where the delightful panorama of Big Baku, the end point of our excursion, opens. 9.
