Main Highlights of Old and Modern City of Baku+FreeGuide Book

I’d love to take you on my unique Old and Modern City Tour with an incredible 4.98 rating   to show you both its ancient heart and its stunning modern side. 

​We'll start by diving into the Old City (Icherisheher), a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We won't just see the famous landmarks; we'll also wander its winding alleys to discover hidden mosques, historic bathhouses, and ancient caravanserais.

​After exploring the past, we'll also touch on the city's 20th-century Soviet history as we step into its modern era. We'll walk along the beautiful seaside Boulevard, see the unique Carpet Museum and our "Mini Venice," and then head up to Highland Park. From there, you get the absolute best panoramic view of the city, including the iconic Flame Towers.

​We'll finish our walk at Highland Park, where I can give you my personal recommendations for food or anything else you need.
