The Old City and all the most valuable things in Baku in one day / "the wand-rescue" for all guests of the city!

The magic of sunny Baku.

Baku is not just the capital. Center of political and public life. This is a unique beautiful city of Azerbaijan, where history is closely intertwined with modernity, and high high-rise buildings and elegant high-tech buildings coexist with ancient fortresses and mosques. Do you want to get acquainted with the city, feel its character, feel the aromas of spices and distant wanderings? Let's go, then, for a sightseeing tour! You will see not only the main attractions, but also unpopular with tourists places where native Bakuns like to relax. Admire the seascapes, walk along Primorsky Boulevard (unaccustomed to it seems endless!) and even ride a gondola on the “Azerbaijani Venice”!

Who is this tour for?

A rich sightseeing tour is a “go-ahead stick” for all guests of the city. This is a real “concentrate” of all the brightest, most memorable and amazing things that can be found in Baku. It is necessary to begin acquaintance with the capital of Azerbaijan. Anyway. If you have already been to Baku, you will still learn a lot of interesting things on a walk.

What awaits you?

Get ready to be amazed and enjoy the magnificent views. Baku is a city of contrasts, unusual combinations, bright colors and exquisite forms. The imagination of architects of all times can only be envied. The Old Town and the newest buildings form an amazingly harmonious appearance, perfectly complementing each other. Walking under the old walls of palaces and bypassing modern large-scale structures, you will make a brief excursion into the history of the city - from the distant past of medieval rulers and caravanserai in the modern time of oil magnates and high-tech. Find out who sponsored the construction of certain buildings, and what geniuses of architecture worked on their creation, hear ancient legends and the latest news of the city.

Romantic Old Town: Maiden Tower, caravanserais, palaces and mosques.

The tour will begin right in the center of the Old Town of Icheri Sheher. You will see ancient caravanserais, touch the rough stones of the fortress walls, hear the legend of the Maiden Tower and climb it to view the crowded capital of sunny Azerbaijan from a bird’s eye view, and also take wonderful photos against the piercing blue southern sky. The labyrinths of the streets of old Baku beckon their mystery. It was here that an episode from the movie “The Diamond Arm” was filmed, and locals still call it “Damn Street.” You will pass by the palace of the Shirvan Khans, hear fascinating stories about how the city arose, how its main attractions were built and what events became turning points in urban history.

Modern Baku: oil magnates, the Palace of Happiness and a gondola ride.

From the romantic past, the river of time will gradually take you to the dynamic real city. You will learn how the city got its modern appearance, how much money the oil magnates invested in it (one famous millionaire built about a hundred houses here!) and what happened to the owners of the famous Palace of Happiness. Under the shadow of the trees of the Molokan Garden you will find a fascinating story about Russian immigrants who arrived in Baku almost two hundred years ago, and in the Governor’s Garden you will see the place where the house of the Baku governor once stood.

The walk will end in the heart of city life - on Primorsky Boulevard.

Did you know that its total length exceeds 16 kilometers? The most hardy can pass it from beginning to end, but it is better to leave this occupation for later and turn your eyes to the gondolas, which are waiting at the very shore. A smiling gondolier (a real Bakunian!) will gladly sit you down and maybe sing something from the national repertoire. It is not for nothing that Baku is also called the “Azerbaijani Venice”.
