Free Walking Tour
Baku

Baku not only is the commercial and economic center of Azerbaijan, it’s also the largest and most cosmopolitan city of the South Caucasus region. Millions of tourists come to Baku every year to go shopping in stunningly luxurious malls, enjoy the vibrant nightlife, and find historical footprints in its medieval fortifications and historical streets. No matter your preferences, you won’t run out of things to do in Baku! After visiting the beautiful old town, we recommend exploring the rich food scene of Azerbaijan with a Food Tour or a cooking class. Additionally, you can join a tea tasting experience or a tour to some of the many organic wineries in the country. By night, do not miss the light show of the Flame Towers; go to Upland Park or the Bulgar waterfront for the best views! Finally, families will enjoy a full day trip to Gobustan State Reserve or the Mud Volcanoes.

Baku is absolutely worth visiting at least once in a lifetime. Due to a wide cultural offer, culinary delights, an interesting historical background, a mixture of ancient and contemporary architecture, fascinating legends, unique traditions, monuments, and a lovely landscape, Azerbaijan’s capital becomes an invigorating place that deserves to be explored. On the Free Walking Tours of Baku, you will unveil the rich history behind a gorgeous city and understand the daily customs that make up its millenary identity. First, most tourists join an Essential Baku Free Walking Tour to witness the ancient atmosphere of the Old Town, a designated UNESCO Heritage Site, with a local guide. Then, we recommend booking a Free Azerbaijani Cuisine Tour. Whether you’re a foodie traveler or are just hungry for Azerbaijani cuisine, you will have fun visiting the best venues where a variety of dishes such as kebabs, dried snacks, spiced meals, and many types of beverages can be found!

The top-rated landmark in Azerbaijan's capital is an ancient complex in the Old Town of Baku, composed by the impressive Palace of the Shirvanshahs, the Maiden Tower, the mausoleum of the dervish, amazing vaults and remains of ancient baths. After exploring this treasure of Azeri culture with Baku City Tours, we recommend taking a relaxed stroll along Baku Boulevard (also known as National Park), a very long promenade which runs parallel to the stunning seafront and famous especially for the area of Little Venice. Not far you will find the didactic Azerbaijan Carpet Museum, the most famous museum in the country. Finally, we recommend joining some Free Tours in Baku to walk within the heart of the capital through Nizami Street, Fountains Square, Heydar Aliyev Center, Bibi-Heybat Mosque, Highland Park and other main areas.
