Baku Socialist and Mosaic Architecture Tour

Are you interested in exploring socialist architecture and mosaics in Baku? Then you're in the right place! As a historian and a life long resident of Baku, I have always been fascinated by the history that my hometown's buildings and colourful mosaics have to offer to locals and tourists alike. Now, I want to share my knowledge with you!

My tour is completely free, with no entrance fee's required. Most importantly, the tour is about YOU, the guest, so feel free to ask questions, stop for photos etc. 

Sights to see include:

  • The former KGB Social Club of Baku
  • Ismailiyya Palace
  • Azerbaijan Government House
We will also see mosaics at:
  • Baku Slavic University
  • Baku Music School
  • Azerbaijan Publishing House
  • Azerbaijani Technical University Sports Complex
  • And more!
 

Meeting place: 

In front of Nuru Paşa Park, next to the Baku Music School.

PS:

  • There is no minimum number of participants.
  • If you are mobility impaired or have difficulty walking, then the steep streets and many staircases will make the tour difficult for you. 
  • Walking in Baku, especially in the summer, can be difficult, so pack plenty of water with you.
  • Please arrive at the meeting point at least 10 minutes before the tour start date. 

The tour lasts 2 hours and 30 minutes
