📍 Start at Icheri Sheher(Old City) for walking tour

Your Baku City Tour begins at Icheri Sheher (Old City), the ancient heart of Baku. Through the Double Gates (also known as the Shamakhi Gate), you’ll step into a medieval world of cobbled streets, ancient walls, and historical monuments.

Baku was declared the capital of Azerbaijan in the 13th century after a powerful earthquake destroyed Shamakhi. The Shirvanshah dynasty moved their capital to Baku, shaping it into a significant cultural and trade center.

Here, you'll explore during Old City Baku Tour:

  • The Caravanserais – Multani and Bukhara, once home to merchants from India, Pakistan, and Uzbekistan
  • Historic Hamams (Bathhouses) – used by travelers before entering the city
  • Notable sites: Baku Khans’ House, the Sailors House, the Chain House, and the famous Cat House

📍 Visit the Iconic Maiden Tower during the Old City Walking Tour

Standing tall within the Old City, the Maiden Tower is one of Baku’s most recognized landmarks. Originally constructed in the 6th century BC as a fire worshippers’ temple and later completed in the 12th century, it served defensive and ceremonial purposes.🟢 Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001, along with the Shirvanshahs’ Palace.

📍 Explore the Shirvanshahs' Palace Complex

During the sightseeing tour of Baku, our next destination is the Shirvanshahs’ Palace Complex - a key highlight of any Baku sightseeing tour. Built after the capital moved from Shamakhi, this majestic complex includes:

  • Main Palace building
  • Palace Mosque and Minaret
  • Divankhana (royal hall)
  • Mausoleums (including Seyid Yahya Bakuvi’s)
  • Murad’s Gate and sacred underground Bathhouse

📍 See the Ismailiyya Palace

Located on Istiglaliyyat Street, this Gothic-style palace was commissioned by millionaire Musa Naghiyev in memory of his son. Designed by architect Josef Ploska, the building was inspired by European Gothic cathedrals and took 5 years to complete. Today, it houses the Presidium of the National Academy of Sciences.

 

📍 Stroll Through Fountain Square & Nizami Street

As part of the sightseeing of Baku, enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of Fountain Square, one of the city's most popular gathering spots. As part of the Baku walking tour, stroll along Nizami Street, a vibrant shopping and pedestrian zone named after the poet Nizami Ganjavi.

 

📍 End at Baku Boulevard & Caspian Sea

Conclude your Tour of Baku City at the scenic Baku Boulevard, stretching along the Caspian Sea since 1909.

Enjoy a Boat Tour, relax by the water, or visit modern malls like Daniz Mall and Park Boulevard Mall for some evening shopping.

Excellent way to explore Baku as a first time visitor!

- I would recommend you take this tour as soon as you arrive. Excellent way to explore Baku as a first time visitor. Our guide Ell was really knowledgeable and showed great interest showing us around & going into detail about the history of Azerbaijan starting from before the soviet era up to today. -Great way to absorb the sights & sounds of Baku City! -The view from highland park was spectacular. -Ell gave us tips on the best restaurants to dine in. Note: This is a "walking" tour so make sure you wear comfortable shoes and be ready to do some walking!

City Tour in Baku great with Guided Azerbaijan!

We had a private family Baku city tour organised by Guided Azerbaijan. The driver and guide arrived on time to our hotel. The minivan was nice, clean and comfortable. We saw many interesting sights such as Old Town Icherisheher - Double Gates, Chain & Cat Houses, Multani & Bukhara Caravansarai, Maiden Tower, ABAD store, Old Market Square, Juma mosque, Lazgi Mosque, Miniature Book Museum, Aliagha Vahid Statue, Shirvanshahs' Palace Museum Complex, Ismayilli Building, Sabir Park, Fountain Squre, Nizami street. The narrow streets of the old town can only be explored on foot. Thanks for organising this great tour! I really recommend the tour with Guided Azerbaijan!

New and Old Baku

I would like to thank you for the tour today. Ameen despite of being very knowledgeable about the history, culture and the country, he is a very pleasant person. Our tour supposed to be 3 to 4 hours and at the end I had a gift of 7 hours, learning with him and having good time chating. It was a pleasure to meet them and know about the country. Thanks a lot.

Nice city tour experience of Baku

Our Guide Mr. Khan, he was on time to Pickup, and he showed all the places with complementing few Hindi words. Unfortunately we went on Monday and few places were closed. So suggest all to avoid local sightseeing on Monday. Everything was perfect.
