Evening Baku + Fire Mountain Yanardag

A real celebration of light awaits you on this tour! You will admire the old and modern buildings of Baku in the evening scenery: admire the Flame Towers, the bright Nizami Street, the famous fountains, the sparkling Crystal Hall. You will learn the history of the city, Baku traditions and ancient customs. And then go to Mount Yanardag, whose natural fire has not extinguished for 2000 years.

The excursion covers the most interesting places of the new Baku, each of which will share its history. You will walk along Nizami Street, beloved by Baku residents, admire the Fountain Square ensemble, drive along Heydar Aliyev Avenue, and on the observation deck you will see the panorama of Baku and the Flame Towers - a modern symbol of the city, harmoniously complementing the ancient panoramas. I will help you to know and feel Baku, telling about ancient history and modern subjects. You will learn about the eternally young holiday of spring Novruz, about the traditions and customs of the Azerbaijani people, about outstanding Baku residents: Richard Sorge, Lev Landau, Muslim Magomayev and others. Discover the history of Baku during the oil boom and explore the most beautiful palace buildings of that time. In addition, I will talk about the most modern sights: the space building of the Heydar Aliyev Cultural Center and the brilliant Crystal Hall, where the Eurovision Song Contest was held in 2012. A trip around the city will be complemented by a trip to a natural attraction - the unquenchable mountain Yanardag. Engulfed in flames, it has been burning in rain and snow for over 2,000 years! Here you will learn about the ancient mentions of Yanardag and the connection of the mountain with the cult of Zoroastrianism.
