Explore the soul of Baku on this immersive walking tour through the historic Old City (Icherisheher), a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Led by a local guide, you’ll wander through cobbled alleys and atmospheric courtyards, surrounded by fortress walls that have protected this area for centuries. Along the way, your guide will share stories of Baku’s past, its ancient trade routes, and the rich blend of cultures that shaped the city.
You’ll admire iconic landmarks such as the Maiden Tower and the Palace of the Shirvanshahs from the outside — with the option to visit inside if you wish (entrance fees not included).
Discover the elegant Juma Mosque, walk through the Double Gates, explore traditional caravanserais, and peek into artisan workshops and souvenir shops that bring local culture to life.
This tour is perfect for first-time visitors and those who want to see the authentic Baku — beyond the modern skyline.
