📍 Start at Icheri Sheher (Old City)

Your Baku City Tour begins at Icheri Sheher, 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 Home

📍 Visit the Iconic Maiden Tower

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)
