Tour Plan
Baku City & Absheron Tour starts by picking up the guests from the hotel at 09:00. The first destination of the tour is Baku Boulevard (also known as National Park), a promenade established in 1909 which runs parallel to Baku’s seafront. It is the second-largest in Europe after the park located in Paris alongside Seine River. The park is very popular among tourists as well as locals of Baku to walk and enjoy the beauties of the city and sea.
Azerbaijan Carpet Museum displays Azerbaijani carpets and rug items of various weaving techniques and materials from various periods. It has the largest collection of Azerbaijani carpets in the world. It moved to a new building on Baku’s seafront park in 2014 from its former location on Neftchiler Avenue.
The museum has become a research-training and cultural-educational center where many events, such as exhibitions, international symposiums, and conferences, are held. During its 50 years of existence, the museum has organized more than 30 exhibitions in different countries throughout the world.
Little Venice is one of the most beautiful sections of the Seaside National Park in Baku.
This small town within the city, reminiscent of Italy’s Venice, adds a special beauty to the capital of Azerbaijan with its stunning canals and architecture. Little Venice was constructed as part of the Baku Boulevard in the 1960s and has become a favorite holiday destination for Baku citizens and guests of the city.
Baku’s Upland Park is the highest point in the Azerbaijani capital, opening a panoramic view of the city and its bay. The city’s residents and visitors often come here to see a bird’s eye view of Baku and just have a walk. The Upland Park can be reached by cable railway (funicular) in 7-8 minutes from the boulevard, by climbing up the endless stone stairs or just by car.
At the top of the park, there are located the country’s parliament building, the alley of martyrs, and the world-famous symbol of modern Baku, the Flame Towers. This park is a beautiful corner of Baku and is considered one of the most interesting places for our city’s guests.
The last destination of the tour will be the spectacular work of Zaha Hadid which is built in 2012 and covers 57,500 m2 area. Some facts about the building:
- The recorded cost of the center is 250 mln $.
- Architects did 2.5 years of research in order to just find out how to build this amazing building.
- The material that was used to make it outside of the center invented by the architects because there was no known material in order to make such a curved building.
The Baku Ateshgah (from Persian: آتشگاه, Atashgāh, Azerbaijani: Atəşgah), often called the “Fire Temple of Baku” is a castle-like religious temple in Surakhani town, a suburb in Baku, Azerbaijan.
Yanar Dag (Azerbaijani: Yanar Dağ, meaning “burning mountain”) is a natural gas fire that blazes continuously on a hillside on the Absheron Peninsula on the Caspian Sea near Baku. Unlike mud volcanoes, the Yanar Dag flame burns fairly steadily, as it involves a steady seep of gas from the subsurface
