Can't decide between the Old City and modern Baku? Our Baku City & Old City Tour gives you both in one relaxed half-day. Start on foot in the UNESCO-listed Icherisheher, then switch to a comfortable air-conditioned car for the city's grand panorama, the seaside boulevard and Zaha Hadid's iconic center — a single guided tour across a thousand years of Baku.

Your Half-Day Route

Meet at the Maiden Tower

We begin at the Maiden Tower, Baku's most famous symbol, right at the heart of the Old City. From here the ancient lanes of Icherisheher unfold on foot — a medieval walled town that has guarded the Caspian shore for centuries.

The Palace of the Shirvanshahs

Walk to the magnificent Palace of the Shirvanshahs, a 15th-century royal complex and one of Azerbaijan's greatest architectural treasures. Along the way we pass the ancient Multani and Bukhara Caravanserais, quiet reminders of the Silk Road merchants who once traded beneath the fortress walls.

Highland Park & the Flame Towers

Then it's into the car for Baku's finest viewpoint: Highland Park, with a panoramic sweep of the Caspian Sea, the city skyline and the Flame Towers that guard it from above.

Baku Boulevard & Mini Venice

Back at sea level, stroll the famous Seaside Boulevard and its photogenic Mini Venice canals — the perfect spot for photos and a pause by the water.

Government House

Pass Government House, one of Baku's grandest waterfront landmarks and a masterpiece of Soviet-era architecture.

Heydar Aliyev Center

Finish at Zaha Hadid's wave-like Heydar Aliyev Center, a landmark of modern architecture and the perfect finale to the tour.
