📍 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.

 

📍 End at Baku Boulevard & Caspian Sea

Conclude your Tour of Baku City at the scenic Baku Boulevard, stretching along the Caspian Sea since 1909.

Enjoy a Boat Tour, relax by the water, or visit modern malls like Daniz Mall and Park Boulevard Mall for some evening shopping.

A great experience with a private tour

I had a great time on this tour and couldn't have chosen a better way to go. I prefer small private tours so the attention is focused. It was only me and the tour guide but this would be suitable for a small group with the guide. We drove to different parts of the city and walked where appropriate to visit. If you want a nice experience in Baku, this is the way to go. RalphDailey November 11, 2019

First tour for of Baku City by Fuad

Came to Baku with no knowledge and expectations but once I hopped on this tour last week with tour guide Fuad, my expectations went through the roof! He really took his time for me and my friends and asked about the all our needs. He was very friendly and really made us feel that we know him more than years. We went to old part of the city and went to maiden tower, it was tough to go up the tower but it was worth to go up even we paid more entry fees for my all friends. Fuad stopped in all stairs and explain the all one by one and in the end he did quiz hhhh. It was funny :) After old town we visited to mountain park and got nice view for the photos. Really enjoyed! Highly recommended!!1 Will recommended to my another friends for sure. maheshpkin November 17, 2019
