📍 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.

Superb City

Awesome people, both driver and guide, clean car and with daily water and I had enough days to visit all places in Azerbaijan. I get the recommendation of this company by my friend. He gave me contact of Fuad. When I wrote him, he organized excellent Azerbaijan trip for me. I been in Azerbaijan more than 7 days. I wanna to share my impressions firstly about Baku City Tour. We start for our first tour with Baku City. It is very important, if you are travelling - it is better to start from the city and its culture. I visited to alley of martyrs, and saw the wonderful building front of you - Flame Towers. After park we went to seaside boulevard. I like to jogging and walking a lot, that's we spent lot time on there and my guide Orkan showed me everything and talked about the history, culture, kitchen and all. It was very important tour for me to start to know about the city and Azerbaijan. Take this tour, you will not be dissappointed... lornskie d November 17, 2019
