When travelling to Baku, you’ll be pleased to know that there are many cultural attractions to visit, so you won’t be disappointed. A good place to start getting accustomed with your surroundings is Baku Old City, the historical centre that shows the authentic culture of the city; take advantage of the many walking tours on offer to really get to know the place. For a fantastic view over the city, the modern architectural structure known as Flame Towers (for its resemblance to flames) has an observation deck that is a great place to gaze over the city’s landscape. For a taste of the local religion and beautiful traditional architecture, a popular place to visit is Heydar Mosque; though a little far from the centre, it’s a must see, particularly at night when it’s lit up with a stunning glow.
