Baku
City of Fire
Azerbaijan
About This Destination
Baku astonishes with its contrasts—the ancient walled Old City (Icherisheher) sits in the shadow of the futuristic Flame Towers, oil wealth has created architectural marvels, and Caspian Sea breezes cool this city of eternal fire. Turkish citizens enjoy visa-free entry to this Caucasian crossroads.
Walk through UNESCO-listed medieval streets where merchants once traded on the Silk Road, then ascend to rooftop bars with views of the illuminated modern skyline. Azerbaijan's oil boom has transformed Baku into a showcase of contemporary architecture while preserving its fascinating history.
Our Baku experiences include private tours of the Old City and Palace of the Shirvanshahs, exclusive access to the Heydar Aliyev Center designed by Zaha Hadid, luxury Caspian Sea experiences, and day trips to the otherworldly mud volcanoes and fire temples of the surrounding region.
