Itineraries for Baku

2 itineraries

Baku for two: three days between stone towers and the Caspian shore.Baku folds a medieval walled city, Soviet boulevards and glass towers into one slow, walkable centre, with the Caspian on one side and the Absheron desert on the other. This three-day plan for a couple moves from the stone lanes of the Old City to modern viewpoints, then out to the fire sites that give the region its name, with proper meals and a slower pace built in throughout. 3 days 17 stops Baku for the first time: three days from the Old City to the Flame TowersBaku splits cleanly into three layers, and three days is enough to walk through all of them without rushing: the walled medieval city, the oil-boom and post-Soviet blocks around it, and the glass skyline built in the last fifteen years. This itinerary keeps each day to one layer, with real meals built in, not tacked on at the end. Expect a lot of walking on uneven stone in the Old City and long, flat stretches along the boulevard. Bring comfortable shoes and cash in manat for the markets. 3 days 16 stops
