Baku, the capital city of Azerbaijan, is a captivating metropolis located on the shores of the Caspian Sea. It is a modern city that seamlessly blends ancient history with contemporary architecture and a thriving cultural scene.

One of the most iconic features of Baku is its skyline, dominated by the striking Flame Towers, a trio of skyscrapers illuminated with an ever-changing display of lights. These architectural marvels have become symbols of the city’s rapid development and modernity.

The historic core of Baku, known as the Old City or Icherisheher, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a must-visit attraction. Within its ancient walls, you’ll find narrow winding streets, beautifully preserved medieval buildings, and landmarks like the Maiden Tower and the Palace of the Shirvanshahs. Exploring this atmospheric area provides a glimpse into Baku’s rich past.

Baku is also a city of contrasts, with modern architectural wonders such as the Heydar Aliyev Center, designed by the renowned architect Zaha Hadid. Its flowing curves and futuristic design have made it an architectural masterpiece and a hub for cultural events.
