This full-day tour combines two of the most fascinating highlights near Baku — the open-air rock art museum of Gobustan and the bubbling mud volcanoes — with an immersive walk through the Old City of Baku, where centuries of history are etched into the walls.
Gobustan National Park & Mud Volcanoes
Start your day by heading out of the city to Gobustan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Explore thousands of prehistoric petroglyphs carved into the rocks — vivid scenes of ancient life, rituals, and animals dating back over 10,000 years. Learn about the area’s archeological significance and visit the modern interactive museum.
Next, visit the nearby mud volcanoes, a unique geological wonder. Watch the earth bubble and gurgle as mud spurts from the surface — a phenomenon found in very few places in the world.
Old City (Icherisheher) Walking Tour
Return to Baku and step into a different world as you enter the walled Old City (Icherisheher). Stroll along narrow stone-paved alleys and soak in the atmosphere of medieval Baku. Admire Maiden Tower, Juma Mosque, Shirvanshah’s Palace, and beautifully restored caravanserais that once hosted Silk Road traders. You’ll feel as though you’re walking through a living museum.
This tour offers a perfect blend of natural wonders and cultural heritage, taking you from ancient carvings to bustling historical streets — all in one unforgettable day.
