Baku & Absheron Tour: City Sightseeing, Old Town, Ateshgah, Yanardag & Bazaar

Embark on a full-day journey that blends Baku’s rich history with the fiery wonders of the Absheron Peninsula and the colors of an authentic local bazaar.

Panoramic City Drive 
Start your day with a scenic drive through Baku’s modern and historical highlights.
Pass by the world’s first industrial oil well, the striking Aquatic Palace, the iconic Carpet Museum, and the elegant Seaside Boulevard. Admire the grandeur of the Government House, explore the ambitious transformation of the White City, and marvel at the architectural masterpiece of the Heydar Aliyev Center, designed by Zaha Hadid. Catch stunning views from Highland Park, and don’t miss the famous Flame Towers, a symbol of modern Baku.

Old City Walking Tour (Icherisheher)
Step into Baku’s ancient heart — a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Wander the winding cobblestone streets, admire centuries-old mosques, caravanserais, and bathhouses. Visit the Palace of the Shirvanshahs, Maiden Tower, Juma Mosque, and Double Gates, soaking in the medieval charm and legends of Icherisheher.

Ateshgah Fire Temple
Explore the mysterious Ateshgah, the ancient temple of fire worshippers. Built by Hindu traders in the 17th–18th centuries on land once sacred to Zoroastrians, this pentagonal complex features a central eternal flame fueled by natural gas — a spiritual and cultural marvel.

Yanardag (Burning Mountain)
Witness Yanardag, a hillside that’s been burning naturally for thousands of years. This rare natural wonder, where gas seeps from the earth and ignites in contact with air, offers an unforgettable glimpse of Azerbaijan’s nickname — the Land of Fire.

Yashil Bazaar (Green Market)
End your tour with a flavorful visit to Baku’s most vibrant market. Stroll past stalls brimming with fresh fruits, dried delicacies, fragrant spices, local cheeses, pomegranates, saffron, and Caspian caviar. You’ll taste, smell, and feel the true flavor of Azerbaijani hospitality.
