Tour description

The contrast of dark with light will magically lead us through history in the heart of Baku. We will make a half circle around the old town and pass across city corners, meanwhile enjoying tremendous views for your potential future pictures.  :))

During the tour, we shall walk under the late evening light effect of Baku and see sights, including, but not limited to:

  • Səadət Palace
  • Flame Towers 
  • Highland Park 
  • Parlament avenue
  • Philharmonic Garden 
  • Institute of Manuscripts
  • Baku City Hall and so on.


Meeting place: In front of İçərişəhər (Icherisheher) subway station, next to the monument of H.Z.Taghiyev (see pictures).

A notice for German-speaking walkers:  
if you book a tour in English, take into account that I offer the same tour in German language too. However, the tour in German language has a different time-slot than the one in English. Depending on available schedules I could offer you a separate tour. Just ask in advance if you would like to have a walking tour in German language. :))
 
A notice about itenary & weather:
please, take into account, that as we walk to the top of the city in the first part of our itenary, it includes a steep path. Since Baku is the city of winds, the probability of windy weather in Highland Park is relatively high.

The trip with Kamil was great! He accommodated the group's requests and prepared delicious Azerbaijani tea for us. He had great historical and geographical knowledge and even knew how to greet us in Polish :)

We walked to the funicular to go up to the Highland Park. On the way Kamil gave in-depth information about Azerbaijan history supported by old maps and photos. Up at the park, we enjoyed illuminated Flame Towers and bay view at night. The best part was our deep conversation on linguistics accompanied by a few cups of tea served by Kamil. If you want to explore the best sights of Baku at night, this is the tour!
