- Baku Old City - In December 2000, this renowned destination became Azerbaijan’s first UNESCO World Heritage-listed site. It is home to the Maiden Tower and the Palace of the Shirvanshahs, making the Old City a hub of history, culture, and tradition that draws visitors from around the world. The age of the surrounding architecture is evident, not only in design but also in the wear of many buildings. The charming streets of the Old City are perfect for exploration. Whether it’s the narrow alleyways, souvenir shops, museums, or the palace interior, there’s much to discover on these ancient paths. Visitors can choose to hire a guide or explore independently. All that’s needed is a sense of adventure and comfortable footwear!
- Azerbaijan National Carpet Museum - Situated in the heart of Azerbaijan, the Azerbaijan Carpet Museum boasts one of the world’s largest collections of rugs and carpets. Visitors can stroll through the well-curated halls adorned with vibrant tapestries that display various weaving techniques and materials from the nation’s history. Since 2014, this remarkable museum has been housed in its newly renovated location, showcasing around 10,000 items, including more than just carpets. However, the collection from the Shusha Museum of History, featuring approximately 600 carpets from a city devastated by Armenian forces in the early 1990s, truly captivates. A well-stocked bookstore and occasional public lectures bring this unique attraction and its rich history to life.
- Ferris Wheel - Boasting a prime location on a boulevard overlooking the Caspian Sea, the Baku Ferris Wheel (Baku Eye) offers breathtaking views of the city and its coastal surroundings. Originally constructed for the Eurovision Song Contest, which Azerbaijan hosted in 2012, it has since become one of the city’s most prominent attractions.
- Maiden Tower - The Maiden Tower, a UNESCO World Heritage-listed site, is situated within Baku’s walled city and is known locally as Giz Galasi. Built in the 12th century, this iconic structure rises into the otherwise open skyline and is one of the city’s most recognizable buildings. Visitors to the Maiden Tower can explore the museum inside and learn about the walled city’s history, culture, and revolution. Adventurous visitors can climb the stairs to the top of the tower for stunning views of the Caspian Sea.
- Flame Towers - Although relatively new to the skyline, completed in 2012, the three glass skyscrapers that form the Flame Towers have quickly become iconic. Perched on a hill overlooking the old city center and Baku Bay, they were inspired by Azerbaijan’s ancient fire-worship practices. During the day, the blue-tinted reflective towers are impressive, but they become truly spectacular at night when their surfaces transform into a massive display of over 10,000 LED lights, illuminating the towers with colors of fire, water, or the national flag. The buildings primarily house offices and residences, including the notable Fairmont Baku Hotel.
