TOP SIGHTSEEINGS TO VISIT
MAIDEN TOWER
Part of the World Heritage-listed ancient walled city, Maiden Tower remains one of nation's most distinctive emblems. Built on a solid rock foundation in the 12th century, the majestic 29.5 m (96 ft) tower seamlessly blends Persian, Arabic, and Ottoman architectural influences into one. Its massive foundations plunge 15 m (49.2 ft) below ground and may date back as far as the 4th century CE. Explore the mysterious eight-story structure, which houses a water well, an observation deck at the top, and a museum containing many relics and stories of the city's evolution throughout history. The tower also contains shops and cafes.
The Old City is the place where you can touch history and taste the most delicious dishes this city has to offer. I always find something new to discover.
STEP INTO HISTORY
Let us show you the wonders that lie inside the 12th-century walls of Icheri Sheher, or The Inner City, during a guided tour of this UNESCO World Heritage site. Stop to savour layered baklava stuffed with walnuts and spices and pick up jars of homemade jam along the way.
Baku City Day Tour
Straddling the Middle East, Europe and Asia, the enigmatic capital of Azerbaijan sits on the coast of the opal-blue waters of the Caspian Sea, with the Caucasus Mountains to the west.
The Baku City Tour can be arranged as either a morning or an afternoon half-day tour. Tours typically start at 9:00 AM or 3:00 PM and are 5 to 6 hours long, but we’re flexible! AZERBAIJAN-TOURS will not only tell you the history and interesting facts of life in the “City of Winds,” we’ll also talk about our life style, why we’re known as one of the most “livable” cities in the Middle East, and where some of the off- the-beaten-path restaurants, shops and nightlife can be found.
1:00 PM - Pick up at your hotel or residence. Drive through uptown, downtown and go on with Philharmonic Garden Oldtown, and White City, Little Venice, the Palace of Happiness, as well as Freedom Square, the Seafront Boulevard, Highland Park, Heydar Aliyev Center and some of Baku’s many fountains, avenues and parks.
