Highlights

This self-guided walk through Baku’s Old City is designed for travelers who want to understand what they’re seeing, not just pass by it. You’ll move through Icherisheher understanding the history carved into its walls, mosques, bathhouses, and caravanserais—at a pace that’s entirely your own. Along the way, the tour connects Baku’s biggest landmarks with quieter, easily missed details like the fortress gates that controlled Silk Road trade, the Palace of the Shirvanshahs and the city’s most enigmatic symbol, the Maiden Tower. You will also hear about poets, dervishes, artists, and merchants who shaped the city’s culture. This format works especially well in a place like Baku. You can pause for tea, step inside museums or linger for photos. It’s ideal for first-time visitors who want context and independent explorers who prefer flexibility. With over 20,000 travelers worldwide having used our tours, and a refund guarantee, you can confidently book this tour to uncover Baku’s secrets.

About Baku

Baku is Azerbaijan's capital on the Caspian Sea, where a walled medieval old town sits beside oil-era mansions and glass towers shaped like flames.

The walled Old City, Icherisheher, is a UNESCO-listed maze of lanes with the Maiden Tower and the Palace of the Shirvanshahs, both medieval. Beyond the walls, grand mansions from the oil boom of the late nineteenth century line the streets, and a long boulevard runs beside the Caspian. The three Flame Towers glow on the skyline, and Zaha Hadid's curving Heydar Aliyev Centre is a landmark of modern architecture.

Top-ranked sights in Baku: Bibi-Heybat Mosque (Bibiheybet Mescidi), Yanar Dag, Baku Old City (Icherisheher).
