Route

1. The Candy Cane Mountains, spanning the Khizi and Siyazan districts, are a surreal natural wonder named for their striking red-and-white striped hills. These vibrant, swirling patterns were formed over millions of years as groundwater altered the oxidation state of iron compounds within the Cretaceous-era shale rock layers. Visitors can admire these unique sedimentary badlands directly from the roadside or explore on foot to spot tiny ancient fossils embedded in the ground, making it a highly photogenic and popular stop on any northern route from Baku.

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).
