📍 Start at Icheri Sheher(Old City) for walking tour
Your Baku City Tour begins at Icheri Sheher (Old City), the ancient heart of Baku. Through the Double Gates (also known as the Shamakhi Gate), you’ll step into a medieval world of cobbled streets, ancient walls, and historical monuments.
Baku was declared the capital of Azerbaijan in the 13th century after a powerful earthquake destroyed Shamakhi. The Shirvanshah dynasty moved their capital to Baku, shaping it into a significant cultural and trade center.
Here, you'll explore during Old City Baku Tour:
- The Caravanserais – Multani and Bukhara, once home to merchants from India, Pakistan, and Uzbekistan
- Historic Hamams (Bathhouses) – used by travelers before entering the city
- Notable sites: Baku Khans’ House, the Sailors House, the Chain House, and the famous Cat House
📍 Visit the Iconic Maiden Tower during the Old City Walking Tour
Standing tall within the Old City, the Maiden Tower is one of Baku’s most recognized landmarks. Originally constructed in the 6th century BC as a fire worshippers’ temple and later completed in the 12th century, it served defensive and ceremonial purposes.🟢 Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001, along with the Shirvanshahs’ Palace.
📍 Explore the Shirvanshahs' Palace Complex
During the sightseeing tour of Baku, our next destination is the Shirvanshahs’ Palace Complex - a key highlight of any Baku sightseeing tour. Built after the capital moved from Shamakhi, this majestic complex includes:
- Main Palace building
- Palace Mosque and Minaret
- Divankhana (royal hall)
- Mausoleums (including Seyid Yahya Bakuvi’s)
- Murad’s Gate and sacred underground Bathhouse
📍 See the Ismailiyya Palace
Located on Istiglaliyyat Street, this Gothic-style palace was commissioned by millionaire Musa Naghiyev in memory of his son. Designed by architect Josef Ploska, the building was inspired by European Gothic cathedrals and took 5 years to complete. Today, it houses the Presidium of the National Academy of Sciences.
📍 Stroll Through Fountain Square & Nizami Street
As part of the sightseeing of Baku, enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of Fountain Square, one of the city's most popular gathering spots. As part of the Baku walking tour, stroll along Nizami Street, a vibrant shopping and pedestrian zone named after the poet Nizami Ganjavi.

City tour of Baku
My husband and I had a fantastic tour of the city. Our guide Jemshed was superb. His knowledge of the history of Baku and the area was so informative. Our tour was in English and his grasp of multiple languages is impressive. I highly recommend taking the tour and asking for Jemshed to assist! Thank you so much 🇨🇦 Arlee and John Arlee M July 10, 2022

City tour of Baku on a hot day in July
We enjoyed the tour of the Old City with the Shirvanshah Palace. It was worth spending the extra money on going inside the palace. We also enjoyed the Highland area near the Azerbaijan Parliament. The views of Baku from there were spectacular. The tour guide's explanations of the war memorials were informative. The tour guide was an excellent speaker of English and Indonesian, which we really appreciated. AlanTexas July 11, 2022
