Caspian shoreline, a walled old city and mountain villages a few hours from Baku.

About Azerbaijan

Baku is a compact and unusually photogenic capital: a UNESCO-listed walled old city with the Maiden Tower and Shirvanshahs' Palace, wrapped by a seafront boulevard and overlooked by the Flame Towers.

Outside the city, Gobustan preserves thousands of years of rock art alongside mud volcanoes. North, the road climbs to Quba and the mountain village of Khinalug at over 2,000 metres; north-west lie Sheki and its eighteenth-century Khan's Palace.

Four to six days covers Baku and one mountain excursion comfortably.

Things to do

  • Walk the walled Icherisheher old city
  • See the Gobustan petroglyphs and mud volcanoes
  • Drive to Quba and Khinalug
  • Visit the Khan’s Palace at Sheki
