We are The Wind Walkers — a local walking tour team inspired by the soul of Baku: where the wind never rests, and every stone has a story. Led by passionate locals, we offer immersive city walks that connect you with the architecture, legends, and lived energy of Azerbaijan’s capital. From hidden corners of the Old City to breathtaking views from Highland Park, our tours are more than sightseeing — they’re storytelling on foot. We walk with you like friends, not only as guides. We believe the best way to discover Baku is slowly, with fresh air in your lungs, history under your feet, and the skyline always shifting above you. Whether it’s your first visit or your fifth, we invite you to explore Baku with us — at the pace of the wind.

Tour description

Baku is a city of contrasts—where ancient stone walls meet modern glass towers, where the wind whispers through gardens, and where every corner hides a story.


On this walking tour, we won’t just visit places—we’ll experience moments:
✨ Starting in the calm of Molokan Garden under whispering trees
✨ Strolling the stylish bustle of Nizami Street
✨ Feeling the Caspian breeze as we walk down Rasulzadeh Street
✨ Wandering along Baku Boulevard by the sea
✨ Pausing at whimsical spots like Mini Venice and the Carpet Museum
✨ Climbing to Highland Park for the best panorama of the city
✨ Honoring silence at Martyrs’ Alley & Mosque
✨ Gazing at the fiery skyline from the Flame Towers viewpoint
✨ Stepping through the Old City Gate into a stone labyrinth of centuries
✨ Discovering gems like the Miniature Book Museum, Shirvanshah Palace, Maiden Tower, and the Juma Mosque


It’s a journey through gardens, boulevards, viewpoints, and the Old City, mixing history, legends, and the small surprises that make Baku unforgettable.


This is the perfect tour if you want to see the city in one walk, understand its soul, and feel its winds.

✅ Practical details

  • Duration: about 3 hours
  • Style: relaxed walking, with some uphill parts

We’ll start the tour at Molokan Gardens, a peaceful park in central Baku, located between Khagani Street and Uzeyir Hajibeyov Street. Look for the main fountain in the center of the park, that’s where we’ll meet. Please arrive 10–15 minutes early to make sure we start on time. I won’t have a sign, but I’ll be waiting by the fountain and happy to greet you with a smile!
