This specially organised tour will take you into the heart of the old city, beginning at its main entrance. As you move through narrow streets, you will feel as if you are travelling through time, with architecture dating back to the 12th century standing alongside parts of the old city that were shaped during the 19th-century Oil boom. Your guide will point out the key features and explain the historic layers of the area as you explore.
Along the way you will visit Upland Park by the Famous Baku Funicular, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the city. If you choose the private option, you will be picked up by car from Upland Park to continue to the Haydar Aliyev Cultural Center, which is considered one of the most modern buildings. The tour will therefore combine medieval architecture, 19th-century history and contemporary design for a varied view of the city’s past and present.
